"President Jimmy Carter's withdrawal of support for the shah of Iran, for example, helped Ayatollah Khomeini's regime come to power in Iran, thus giving radical Islamists control of a major state; and President Bill Clinton's failure to respond to Islamic attacks confirmed bin Laden's perceptions of U.S. weakness and emboldened him to strike on 9/11"

Right on the money!

Helped?

After stabbing in the back, our only ally during the oil embargo,
Carter gave Iran to that murderer Khomeini . For crying out loud,the Shah was dieing of cancer and Carter fought to have him banned from entering the US for medical treatment.
