1. When ever we sell a butt load of weapons to a country, they eventually use them on us. Think we would learn!

2. HA! I saw this segment and I nearly laughed. But what John Stewart is referring to is the Reagen administration, which sold weapons to Iraq and Iran and look at this mess today. Then the Iran-contra scandal happened. This is the lovelyness of a overly praised administration called Reagen Administration. But on a more serious note the war on Iraq and the rumored war on Iran can be pointed as far back as Reagen. I think apoinintd Reagen was huge mistake in my opinion and no wonder John Stewart is making a "WTF" Beep in this segment. But I saw this episode this was the one where he interviewed Barrack Obama and the point I would like to make is, Reagen as a hollywood actor had no experience himself in politics except getting elected as California governer, where as Obama to me is more credible than Reagen ever was because of his law school experience rather than "Acting" if you want to compare the 1980's to today's campaign.
