Jamo,
I'm sure you are aware of Iacoccas involvement with the development of the Mustang. You are probably also aware of the sales record, and the popularity of the car. Iacocca has a different management style - he pays attention to what people wanted, and he gave it to them.
If people running the car companies did things like that now we might not have seen the Chevy SSR. And, Chrysler did manage to pay back the loan - I have my doubts as to whether any of the current crop of CEOs would do so today - much less pay it back early.
Personally, I think Iacocca deserves better treatment than being called a POS for his views on a situation that he thinks is harming this country.
Bernie,
As for wanting to put Iacocca down a well '300' style - Don't you think it is a bit stupid to pollute your own water supply just to satisfy a 'warrior class' emotional outburst? It may look exciting in the movie, but it is a sure sign of not being able to understand the consequences of your actions (something our leaders seem to do on a regular basis).
Steve
