Relics of Communism
by Oliver North
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — "What are you Americans thinking?" asked the young woman in perfect, if slightly accented, English. She was wearing a name tag with "Marie" in both Cyrillic and Latin print and had greeted us pleasantly when we ducked out of the rain and into her store to buy postcards and mementos for our grandchildren.

North comparison between Reagen's, "Tear down this wall," speech and Obama's unwillingness to become involved in Iranian politics, is like comparing apples to oranges.

So, Mr. North, how many wars should the U.S. become involved in? And when are you signing up?

Oliver North isn't someone who should be trusted when he talks about freedom (or when he talks about other things). Oliver North "thinks" that those who engage in systematic rape, torture, and murder of innocent civilians are "Freedom Fighters". Oliver North isn't honest or moral enough to lecture anybody on liberty.
Oliver North is famous for selling arms to Iran and lying a lot. He has a lot of nerve engaging in sanctimonious anger at those who he disagrees with.

Re: Monica You said: "That's true. So, Mr. North, how many wars should the U.S. become involved in?"
Based on his past performance it's likely that Mr. North would sell arms to Iran. If he went to war with Iran it's likely that they'd attack him with weapons that he was stupid enough to sell to them.
