I don't find anything respectable about selling weapons to Iran in order to fund death squads. If he didn't know what his people were doing, that makes it even worse.Reagan was a respectable man, Obama is a lying scumbag.
Contras - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
During their war against the Nicaraguan government, the Contras committed a large number of human rights violations. These actions were frequently carried out systematically as a part of the strategy of the contras. Supporters of the Contras tried to minimize these violations, particularly the Reagan administration in the US, which engaged in a campaign of white propaganda to alter public opinion in favor of the contras.
