Iran-Contra Scandel
During my presidency a lot of terrorist attacks occured, and i wanted to stop. The first terrorist attack that really made me think was the one in April of 1983. An explosion at the U.S. embassy in Beirut. So I started to sell items to Iran, to help their troubles. This was called the Iran-Contra Scandal. By selling arms to Iran, Iran would give up hostages that they took from the U.S. Which would be good for our country, but i guess I didn't want to be that genorous. So that ended the scandel and the U.S just went in and rescued the hostages instead of giving Iran the weapons.

Dear Mr.Ronald Reagan,
ReplyDeleteI am sorry about all the terrorist attacks. I hate it when american people are put into dangerous situations because of terrorists. I do think you were a good president, though. I know that you did many good things in your presidency, now. It would have been nice to work with you, I am sorry we never got the chance.
I do think you make good decisions, but I don't think you should have given the arms to Iran. If you wanted the hostages to come back, you should attack Iran. If Iran is taking our people and growing stronger by the minute (by you giving them the weapons,) then you should attack them instead of letting them win and have American people. If they are stronger later on, than they will try to hurt American people again. And they could win if they have the weapons to!
Hope all is well,
Dwight Eisenhower!
