of the Ira Contra affair with the Nixon administrations watergate which involved a 1972 breaking and wiretapping of the democratic and a subsequent coverup that eventually led to impeachment proceedings against on the other interviewed at the Jimmy Carter presidential Center in said Ira Gate is much More watergate was a relatively insignificant crime of breaking into an while the Iran scandal has damaged our nation in the Mideast arabian Gulf area and internally As the difference in the nations reaction to the Ira Contra Carter is that when Nixon made his watergate the country was in a punitive rather than face an impeachment trial in the Nixon resigned in August 1974 after the House judiciary committee approved three articles of the press was determined to punish president the Congress had the inclination and maybe the general Public did As but after the horrible experience of the press and the Public have had an aversion to any punishment of president Carter we did not want another Carter so i think although the mistake made was much More serious in this the presidency itself has been and that is a Protection of which i fully while the country probably will not know in the near future How much Reagan was told Boyf the scandal by the two Contra figures Marine u Oliver North and rear John Poindexter we ought to just presume that he didst know anything about it and let it Carter questioned about the bombing of said that Qadhafi was not a target even though the bombardment hit both his residence and his killing his daughter and seriously injuring his two youngest
