And that is exactly what we need in Douglas County.

Iranians chant 'Death to America,'
The Associated Press
NICOSIA, Cyprus — Hundreds of Iranians chanting "Death to America!" burned a U.S. flag at a rally yesterday in front of the former president of Teheran, marking the 10th anniversary of its takeover by militant students.

Tesher televised, monitored in Nicosia, showed a large crowd carrying signs proclaiming "Death to Israel" and "Death to Britain."
Men and women, including university students, converged on the rally site from all parts of the capital, the
Musavi Khoeinha, the former prosecutor who was the mentor of the militant students who stormed the embassy 11 years ago, read a half-hour message from Ayatollah Ali Khameini. Iran's spiritual leader
Khamenei's message urged the country's feeding radical and so-called pragmatic factions to stop their infiltration and remain united.
Parliament Speaker Mehdi Karabi, a hard-line opponent of Khamenei, then addressed the crowd, warned that he the U.S. presence in the Persian Gulf
He said that the capture of the U.S. nest of spies in Iran guaranteed the future of the revolution and disrupted U.S. spying machinery.
None of Iran's high-ranking leaders showed up at the rally, which commemorated what was considered a victory in the history of the 1978 revolution.
President Hashemi Rafsanjani has been trying to temper the revolution since the death of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in June 1989.
Rafsanjani has engaged in efforts to sideline Khomeni's hard-line, anti-Western followers.
The radicals accuse Rafsanifi and Khamenei, his political ally, of straying from Khomeini's anti-West-Islamic Bothers deny that this is true.
In a speech to students from various parts of the country yesterday, Rafsanjian said that with the capture of the U.S. nest of spies, documents revealing U.S. plots against the revolution were divulged.
Blaming the United States for pushing Iraq into the 1980-88 war, Iran, he said that after the failure of Iraq to implement the United States imposed the war on Iran
Protesters criticize German capitalism
The Associated Press
BERLIN — The people who orchestrated the biggest protest in East Germany's Communist history marked the occasion yesterday with a small rally against united Germany's capitalist system.
About 5,000 people met on Alexander-Berlin, Berlin's central square and the scene of a historic rally that drew the estimated 1 million people last year.
The Nov. 4, 1989, rally helped lead to the opening of the Berlin Wall five days later, helped speed the pace of democratic reforms and was a key link in the chain of events that resulted in German unification.
The demonstrators yesterday demanded better social guarantees as the former East German nation, which joined West Germany on Oct. 3, struggles to adapt to a free-market, democratic system.
Unemployment and living costs have skyrocketed in the last few months. The old socialist system, which guaranteed low prices and full employment but denied freedoms of work and travel, is being dismantled.
One year ago, Alexanderplata was a sea of people that stood on the sprawling plaza and chaunted "We are disoriented Communist leadership.
The chant later evolved into "We are one people" as the revolt for freedom was supplanted by a mass movement for German unity.
Protesters hold up signs yesterday reading "We are a stupid people," and "We were the people" to protest what they say is a coldly pragmatic capitalist system that pays insufficient attention to the human costs of the nation's radical economic and social transition.
"Look for a job as a minister without portfolio," read one sign, a jab at the five former East German government officials who now make more than $2,800 monthly as ministers in the united government. The
ministers have no clearly defined duties.
Baerbel Bohley, leader of the New Forum activist group and the best known of the dissidents who helped lead the democratic revolt, was among several famous people at yesterday's rally.
New Forum, an association of liberal artists and intellectuals, was unable to establish a clearly defined political identity after its remarkable success with the peaceful democracy revolution.
"The revolution is not over, and therefore, we may not stand aside," she told the crowd.
Reagan denies making hostage deal with Iran
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Former President Ronald Reagan says he did not have to think 30 seconds about selling missiles to Iran, but denies he tried to prevent that. He also wants to excerpts of his memoirs published yesterday.
Reagan also acknowledged that he still did not know all the facts in the Iran-contra case, which became the biggest scandal of his eight-year administration. In the case, weapons were sold to Iran and the profits secretly were diverted to the Nicaraguan contra rebels.
While the Iran-contra case made him unhappy, Reagan said his greatest regret as president was sending Marines to Beirut, where a suicide bomber barracks Oct. 23, 1983, killing 241 servicemen.
the source of my greatest regret and greatest sorrow," Reagan wrote in the excerpts from "An American Life" appearing in this week's Time magazine.
Reagan said he was convinced it was a good idea to deploy Marines in war-torn Lebanon as peacekeepers. But U.S. officials did not realize how much the soldiers were in the barracks on a wide-open space.
Concerning the Iran-contra case, Reagan said he and other officials relied heavily on information from Israeli officials when deciding to sell weapons to Iran in mid-1985.
"In any case, sending the Marines to Beirut was
At first Reagan said he did not want to do it because the Iranians sponsored terrorism. But the former president said that when he learned through the Israelis that the group seeking the weapons did not support terrorist activities, he did not besituate to make the sale.
Once we had information that we could trust the people in Iran, I didn't have to think 30 seconds about saying yes. I was told the few missiles would not significantly change the balance in Iran's war with Iraq, so I said, 'OK, one small shipment from Israel to allow the Israelis to prove they were talking with the highest levels of the U.S. government.'
But Reagan said he insisted that the Iranians use
their influence to get U.S. hostages in Lebanon freed. The hostages were held by pro-Iranian forces.
"No problem was more frustrating for me than trying to get the hostages real," Reagan said. Even so, he denied that the weapons sale was an arms-for-hostages deal.
During a 15-month period, three U.S. hostages were released but three more were captured. Six of them are still missing.
"To this day, I still believe that the Iran initiative was not an effort to swap arms for hostages. But I know it may not look that way to people," he wrote.
Reagan said Iran-contra caused a cloud of disbelief to descend during his last two years in office.
If he could relive the past, Reagan said he would demand that former National Security Adviser John Poindexter and his former aide, Oliver North, explain Iran-contra. They were the U.S. officials who were most involved in setting up the diversion.
