It would be interesting to know where Iran would be today if Jimmy Carter hadn’t undercut and abandoned the Shah.

Carter even refused the Shah political asylum.

And was repaid when the mullahs took over the U.S. embassy and declared war on the Great Satan.

yes, that would be interesting as well.

but the high ranking Savak members did get asylum and were allowed to change their names and come here under something like Witsec. I knew one of them and found out accidentally because he kept a picture of himself with the shaw and had a butt tonne of ribbons and decorations on his uniform.

he was not Muslim and was a very smart guy (dead now)
