By Tewy IVwd
On Sunday, November
4, 600 Iranian students,
supported by the
Ayatollah Khomeini,
stormed the United
States embassy com
pound in downtown
Tehran, taking 60
Americans hostage. In
the wake of those events
in Iran, Americans are

“I believe that we
should completely
blockade Iran by air and
sea. We should move B
52’s, KC-135’s, F-16’s, etc.
within striking distance
and move the 7th Fleet
into the Red Sea and the
Mediterranean. Like
Teddy Roosevelt said,
‘Speak softly and carry a
big stick’. For one thing,
we’re dealing with
outlaws. The Iranians
have violated all the
principles of humanity
and international law. I
believe that Egyptian
President Sadat was
correct in his statement
that the Ayatollah
Khomeini is a lunatic. He
is a religious fanatic
trying to run the
government without
knowing about govern
ment.”^
Joyce Phillips
‘‘ln my opinion Carter
is handling the situation
in the right way. Stor
ming the embassy would
not help and could cause
the entire situation to
explode; because for one
thing, Carter has no
support there. All of the
country is behind
Khomeini. As for the
Shah, I don’t believe he
should be forced back to
Iran. It should be his
decision. However, if his
condition is as critical as
cioctors say, he may not
last much longer.
dramatically than in any
recent crisis. As one
Perryan surmised, ‘‘lf
anything, this event has
helped to unite the
American people.”
Students at the

and colleges across the
country are anything but
apathic as they

“I’m a dyed in the wool
Republican, but I’m
supporting President
Carter’s action in this
crisis 100 percent. I
believe that military
interruptions could do
more harm than good at
this point. We are dealing
with irrational people.
We must bide our time
and not jeopardize the
safety of the hostages.
The freezing of their
assets has definitely had
an effect. Though they
won’t admit it, this is
what brought about the
release of the thirteen
hostages so far. More of
the same economic ac
tions could help in freeing
the others.”
Kathy Edwards
‘‘l don’t feel like
President Carter is doing
enough to free the
American hostages. But
if we do too much, like
sending troops to Iran, it
could start a war, and we
certainly don’t need that.
If worse comes to worse,
I believe we should force
the Shah back to Iran
with the understanding
that all of the hostages
would be freed and not
tried. I also believe that
all the Iranian students
who are protesting
against us should be
deported.”

The whole country is
speaking out in one way
or another as are the
citizens of Perry.
Each of the following
were asked by the HHJ
“What is your opinion as
to what should be done
about the Iranian
crisis?”
Jessie Otis Little
‘‘l believe that we
should send U.S. troops
over to Iran and take our
people by force. That’s
what it will probably
come to. The Shah is a
sick man and he came to
the U.S. on his own for
help. Nobody forced him
to come here and I don’t
believe we should send
him back.”
Gary Davis
PHS Student
“If we let Iran succeed
in blackmailing us, it
could cause other small
countries to try and do
the same. I think that we
should send our Marines
over there to show them
we mean business. They
have no right to hold sixty
Americans for one man.
And I believe that all the
Iranian students who are
causing trouble while
they live here in the
United States should be
sent back.”
