And these are the righteous and rightful leaders of Iran that Jimmy Carter, in his wisdom, decided were a better choice than to support the “dictator” Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
In reality, nations and peoples may pretend to Wilsonian, UN style principles when it suits them, but as to how the world actually works, equality and respect are based on power and money, wisdom and diligence in their use, the pursuit of national interest, and natural affinity based on religion, system of government, culture, and trade.
Iran's mullahs were never going to be anything but our enemies or on our payroll, which was a key part of how the CIA kept the Shah in power. Carter cut the mullahs off from the CIA's system of bribes, which soon led them to turn on the Shah and the US in discontent and to advocate revolutionary aims steeped in Shiite Islam. The mullahs have run Iran ever since, accruing great wealth in the process. Most of the populace now hates and fears them, with Islam itself suffering much discredit.
And, the same people funded to do riots in every US city for palesitinians and other made up groups. That is why the UN labelled the IRGC as a terrorist group.
End them all.
