[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Human reactions

I am not going to address the humanitarian or moral issues
of this note stream, however I do want to say something
regarding the hostages.

It has been said here that only a few fanatics are responsible
for the hostages, BUT what is not pointed out is that the
government is aiding these fanatics.  Why hasn't the Iranian
government arrested these kidnappers?  Why haven't they 
rescued and released the hostages?  When the government
supports an action, they are implying their consent and their
agreement to what is happening.
