Thank you very much for this. Every Freeper should read this. I truly believe that Iran today would be a properous world power had the Shah remained in power with reforms. The best excerpt from this article are this:

"While in exile Carter turned his back on the Shah and did not want to have anything to do with the leader who when celebrating New Year's Eve 1978 at his home - Niavaran Palace in Tehran, he addressed the Shah by; "Our talks have been priceless, our friendship is irreplaceable, and my own gratitude is to the Shah, who in his wisdom and with his experience has been so helpful to me, a new leader."?

Steven Hayward in his book published in 2004 under the title, "The Real Jimmy Carter"? writes; "Carter betrayed a man whose fall to the Ayatollah Khomeini on Carter's watch spawned the resurgence of fundamentalist Islamist terrorism that is now the War on Terror.

Two months after the Shah's death in Egypt, Iran's brave armed forces who were trained as first class troops with the best armaments but without their top generals who had all been executed in the previous twenty months, were the key factors in stopping Saddam Hussein invading our country in an eight year war with Iraq."

Jimmy Carter, if you recall, would not EVEN ALLOW THE SHAH TO SOME TO AMERICA FOR TREATMENT OF HIS LIVER CANCER. I will never forget that. The poor man, our true ally for years, had to go to Egypt to die.

Then a few months after Khomeini took power, he repaid CArter's support by holding our embassy hostage for 400 days.

I think you begin to see what happens in the world when we elect liberal presidents in the United States along with a liberal congress.

God help us and the world if we allow that to happen again.
