That Nicaragua story is already paying dividends

From The Weekly Standard, via Mason Conservative:

McCain Sets Foot in Colombia, Hostages Freed

Minutes after President Ronald Reagan was sworn in on January 20, 1981, Iran released the 52 U.S. diplomats it had been holding hostage for more than a year. Hours after John McCain arrived in Colombia today, U.S. hostages held by FARC are freed. McCain may work in hours as opposed to minutes, but the parallels are clear.

Obviously, the terrorists heard the Nicaragua story!

    The parallels are virtually identical!
    Carter told the Iranians, on day one, that if one hostage was harmed in any way, he would turn Iran into a parking lot.
