Déjà vu?
All these memories rushed back to me reading the news that "US President Donald Trump is expected to sign executive orders . . . [imposing] a temporary ban on most refugees and a suspension of visas for citizens of Syria and six other Middle Eastern and African countries."
The comparison goes only so far before it becomes a cliché and prevents our more accurate reading of what is happening to my adopted homeland here in the US. Trump is not Carter. US diplomats are not held hostage by any militant band of revolutionaries anywhere in the world.

There were two beggars sitting next to each other on the street in Vatican city, one had a large cross around his neck, the other had the star of David. It was a lovely day, the sun was shining, there were thousands of people walking past the two beggars, but everyone was giving the man with the cross around his neck money, while the man with the star of David got nothing. One morning a high priest walked by the beggars and said to the beggar with the star of David " my friend, you are in Vatican city, all these people that pass you by will give to the man with the cross, they will never give money to a man with a star of David, in fact they will give to the man with the cross just to spite you... The beggar with the star of David, turned to beggar with the cross and said " hey, Moshe, this shmuck is trying to teach the Cohen brothers about marketing.

Follow CNN but do double check with other sources.....
"The perception of Donald Trump in capitals around the world is shaped, in many ways, by CNN. ..."
"One of the things I think this administration hasn’t figured out yet is that there’s only one television network that is seen in Beijing, Moscow, Seoul, Tokyo, Pyongyang, Baghdad, Tehran and Damascus — and that’s CNN," Zucker said.
