Very long story short, the USA had a good partner with the Shah. Until the idiot Carter hosed him over.
Until the idiot Carter(A liberal DEMOCRAT!) hosed him over.There fixed it!
Yes, that is not only true but factual. The peanut farmer from Georgia is the reason why we have trouble not only with Iran but the entire Muslim countries.
You know what, there are so few today that can grasp that.
The Shah had a couple of thousand prisoners and Carter deemed him someone he couldn’t deal with as a Christian (Carter that is).
So Carter the Christian helped facilitate the Islamic Caliphate that is Iran today.
We know the Middle East, and that it takes a strong man to rule there. Carter thought you should rule it as if it was Texas.
The little F’r gave away the Panama Canal which China almost immediately started managing. He could have negotiated and gotten us more time, probably without too much sweat. Then he helped facilitate the deal that has North Korea able to hit us with nukes.
Iran took hostages, and started arming Hezbollah in Lebanon, with supply trucks through Iran and Syria into Southern Lebanon.
That’s our supreme leader for ya. He never met a Commie dictator he didn’t like either.
I’m with you. He wasn’t the bogeyman they painted him to be, but he was trying to drag them out of the Stone Age (Kind of like what Trump appears to be doing to our own government in a different way) which generates hate and discontent to those who have a vested interest in a certain way of doing things.
I went to A-School (USN jet school) with a bunch of Iranians back in the Seventies, and I liked them in general.
Effing Carter, may he rot, completely sold him out. Big surprise.
