You are correct that our nation made a mistake to trust Jimmy Carter. He is a complete foreign affairs goof ball. At the same time, there is no harm [at least here in a free country] admitting that the Iranian people were fooled to topple the Shaw as well. Both sides goofed up.

This is all so much BS. A population can't be freed. They MUST free themselves.

What we did in Iraq was remove a dictator with ideas of world domination. The iraqies want the same government put back with a new improved Saddamless dictator. Without our persistant prodding and occupation, iraq will not emmulate Japan or even Gernmany in reorganization. But an Iraqi government will eventually control it's own population with our help because we took away their last one.

Iranians are no different as far as a populace in need of a government "for the people". We have no reason to topple the government of Iran except to do so as a partisan police action. And history won't even burp if one mullah was replaced with another.

Now as far as supplying weapons, we don't need our government to do that. There are enough floating around the mideast to do the job nicely.

PS..France, Germany, Japan, even Kuwait, said thanks, now get out and leave us alone.
We don't need permission to snuff out terrorists after being attacked and hearing daily threats of future attacks, but we will be nice guys and ask first.

Now on the other hand, dictator deposing is fun! :-)
