Source and link please?
There are dozens of sources. Try Ledeen for starters. Or Amir Taheri. Don't have a link off-hand.
If you read the real history, you'll understand why the people of Iran (and Americans) hate Carter so much.
It was Carter who advised the Shah and Khomeini (behind the Shah's back). Carter got the Shah out of Iran and ushered Khomeini in. Fact. Though it's not one democrats like to admit to.
For argument sake, if Nixon were president at the time, he would have backed the Shah.
The Shah asked Carter for help to put down the uprising. He asked for munitions and backing. Carter refused. HE wanted the Shah out. HE wanted Khomeini. HE did all he could to make that happen, and succeeded. It was HIS will, and as our President, that made it the will of the U.S..
Actually, if you think about it, it's incredible that Iranians have any love for the U.S. at all.
