A lot of the cause of the disasters today in the mideast can be laid at his feet.

He stood by idly when Khomeini returned from France and took Iran with revolutionary zeal. He could have had the CIA as I ate him in France easily. failing that we should have supported the Shah more. The USSR understood and was clandestinely supporting him.

Instead he did neither and the region was swept by more fundamental Islamic zeal leading to 911, wars etc.

Carter mishandled the situation in Iran, but the mistakes that led to that were made long before he was president.
