Jimmy Carter did and look what happened in Iran. In all fairness to Daddy Brzezinski, we still don’t know how Iran will turn out either. It was only in 1979 that the Shah got booted while Zbiggie and Jimma did nothing. Who knows, in another 35 years or so Iran may be a success. More likely it will be a nucelar wasteland when Israel is forced to take Ammanutjob and the mullahs out in a pre-emptive strike.
There are thousands in the streets over there right now trying to help the process along, but if one listens only to this administration and the mainstream news media one would never know.
I guess they're tired of 'pro-democracy' rallies now.
