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.
gee ..I did not know you were talking about Carter..He said no no didn't he, and tut tutted? Carter is clueless and has always been.
