The Shah would not have been deposed without the magic of James Earl Carter. Carter reasoned (in his clearly limited capacity) that the supposed 2000 approximate “political” (deemed by Leftist groups) prisoners made him a despot. And Carter thinking himself a Christian, determined he couldn’t in good conscience support a despot, thus toppling the Shah ushering in an Islamic Caliphate.
.
Iran had adopted Western values to an extent. It’s women wore Western clothes and had elevated rights compared to other regional nations.
.
So Carter set in motion the return of the values of the “Dark Ages” as the lights went out across Iran, with regard to enlightenment.
The Shah wasn’t perfect, but he was far superior to what the people of Iran face now.
And the region now faces a vile regime intent on developing nukes and domination the region through terror.
Iran already has missiles that are nearly capable of hitting Europe.
40 years after Carter, and we’re still dealing with the effects of his screw-ups.
When I think of what Jimmah Carter did to Iran, I hope that when he turns out the lights at night that the gates of Hell loom before him.
Carter has the blood of thousands on his hands.
