On November 4, 1979, radical Iranian students seized the United States Embassy complex in the Iranian capital of Tehran. The immediate cause of this takeover was the anger many Iranians felt over the U.S. President Jimmy Carter allowing the deposed former ruler of Iran, Shah Reza Pahlavi, to enter the U.S. for medical treatment. In Iran, this was believed to be an opening move leading up an American-backed return to power by the Shah. The crisis which followed this seizure created a near state of war, ruined Jimmy Carter's presidency, and began an environment of hostility between America and Iran which continues to this day.
Still searchin for that "point of view" thing you memtioned..
Independence, medical treatment, independence, medical treatment...still not gettin it...

If you would like a refreshing dissertation on what SOME Msulims think of the Muslim religion do a Google search for Wafa Sultan.
I would cut and paste it, but I lack the computer skills to do so.
There is also a movie from ALjazera about it, but as I am aging and only have dial up network I didn't dowload it.
Well thats two women in the world that have bigger ones than I do, you and Wafa.
