From page 1
Forer maintained that when the crisis broke out in November 1979, U.S. officials used the drama for their own political advantage instead of resolving it immediately.
"At the time, Carter was low on the popularity polls," Foer said. "His hawkish position on the ballot has kept him out of office."
"This (the hostage crisis) could have been over a long time ago."
"Our international posture and our role in the Mideast proved that the United States needed a show of power. The hustlers and the Iranian insurgents tried to scrape the scapegoat they were looking for." Fierer said.
He said the hostage crisis also served Carter with success, doubling domestic issues such as inflation and unemployment.
FORER SAID the hostage situation ended only because the crisis ceased to benefit either side.
"After they (Iran and the United States) had squeezed the most they could out of the situation, there was nothing else to do but let the hostages go," he said.
According to Forer, the release of the hostages was no longer a very important issue for Iranians. Iranian news agencies are not giving prominence to stories about the release of the hostages.
"The United States government is still hostile toward the Iranian Revolution and we have huge military holdings in the Persian gulf area." Forer said. "Most Iranians feel that the United States functions as a superpower to dominate poor countries."
FORER SAID the United States needed to recognize the Iranian government as a separate, responsible power.
"Though the hostage situation is nearly finalized, political problems are still abundant," he said. "The hostages are just a manifestation of a much larger issue."
Crisis end marked by mixed emotions
By PENN CRABTREE and KATHY MAAG Staff Reporters
The U.S. policy toward Iranians living illegally in the United States, though officially still in effect, may soon change dramatically, a Kansas City immigration official said yesterday.
"There have been no changes in the policy yet, but we expect them to come," Richard Henshaw, a U.S. Immigration and Naturalization official, said.
According to Henshaw, 1,000 of the estimated 55,000 Iranians in the United States have been forced to leave since November 1978, when the Islamic Republic of Iran declared its status of all) Iranian living in the United States.
CLARK COAN, director of KU foreign student services, said several Lawrence students had been affected by the November order, but few were impacted because of a lengthy appeal procedure.
At KU, many Iranian students expressed hope that deportation procedures would be eased now that Iran has been closed.
"I've been through this deportation stuff for two years now," one Iranian student said. "I've always been afraid that my passport wouldn't be renewed or some fault would be found. I hope the United States will take a more conciliatory stance toward us."
OTHER STUDENTS have reacted to the news of the impending hostage release with mixed emotions.
"I did not support the taking of the hostages because I believe that most of them were innocent," said one Iranian student, who asked not to be identified.
"But I do believe that the American press misled the American people by focusing on the
The student also said he thought the conditions for the release of the hostages were 'as good a deal as we could have gotten, under the circumstances.'
fact that 'innocent' people were taken. They ignored the Iranian justification for taking the hostages.'
"The whole thing was fairly pointless," he said. "I made sure the assets, without taking hostages, all we got back were."
ANOTHER IRANIAN student said he heped the end of the hostage crisis would bring about a new understanding between Iran and the United States.
"I think conditions will slowly improve between our two countries," Mansour Tatehradze, Tehran graduate student, said. "Now that the hostage deal is over, I hope the peoples of both countries will celebrate the outcome instead of arguing about who won or lost."
Many Iranian students expressed relief that the寝室 were resolved before President-elect Reza Banian began.
"I thought that if Reagan came into the negotiations, we might have war," Ira Mafar, Tehran junior, said. "For that reason I'm very happy that my country gave back the hostages."
ANOTHER IRIANAN STUDENT, who also asked not to be identified, said that although he did not support the taking of hostages, he did not use them as a means aware of the dealings of their own government.
"I hope now that Americans understand that the U.S. government is misrepresenting its people abroad," he said. "Americans need to stand up for their principles.
"I've never understood how Americans won't tolerate dictatorships in their own country, yet
reactions as in their philosophies, American students also ran the gamut of emotions, most expressing joy and relief, some critical and others eosismatic.
"I'm so glad it's finally over and not just another rumor," Kris Danneberg, Wichita junior, said. "I think today should be declared a national holiday."
OTHER STUDENTS adopted a more cautious,
"wait and see" attitude
If Iranian students were as varied in their
"With all the rumors, it's kind of hard to be the hostages are really released. The whole thing could flip-fop on us," John Buchfink, Kansas City, Kan., injured, said.
"Holding hostages was not the way to go about it. America shouldn't 'have given in.'"
Some students credited Reagan's hawkish stance with scaring Iranians into an agreement
DAVID PUMPHREY, Overland Park junior,
said the United States should not feel obligated to
pay him $250.
"I Carter would have taken a hard-line attitude, the hostages would have gotten out earlier." Craig Wilde, overland Park graduate who opposed politically justified, but not morally justified.
"I think we should get our hostages back and then go back on our promises," Pumphrey said. "If they want their money back, then let them come get it."
Whether the recent agreement becomes history or just another broken promise, it is certain to affect American relations for years to come, according to many students.
Terri Maloney, Olahe sophomore, said future successful relations with Iran may be strained.
"it's tragic that they get away with something so illegal," she said. "I'm still mad. America is not ready to let bygones be bygones because there's so much tension and bad feeling."
Crisis
Washington (UPI)—Here is an account of today's developments to implement the agreement with Iran for release of the hostages. All times are EST.
2:15 a.m. — White House Press Secretary Jody Powell announced Iran delayed the release of the hostages because of concern about the amount of interest paid on certain Iranian accounts in the United States. He said a bipartisan law for the hostages would be necessary to solve the problem that appeared agreeable to all parties, and the administration was waiting to formally receive the plan.
3:25 a.m.—Powell announced agreement on the financial snag has been reached and Treasury Secretary G. William Miller ordered that the United States bring the Iranian money into the Federal Reserve.
5. 35 a.m. — Powell announced all the Iranian funds now in the U.S. Federal Reserve in London and representatives of the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England and the Central Bank of Algeria, all in Aligiers, immediately would sign an agreement to create an escrow account at the Bank of England under the name of the Central Bank of Algeria, as deposited in the escrow account, the Bank of England would certify that to the Bank of Algeria and Algeria would then notify Iran.
6:47 a.m.—Powell said all steps completed in the financial agreement, adding "We have done everything that we have said we would do prior to the release of the hostages." He said he expected the hostages to be released without undue delay. He said the bank of England had complied with the request and that the money is in the escrow account, and the only thing that remained was for the Algerian government to notify Iran. He said the notification "should be completed very shortly."
"It should not be forgotten."
