I remember the Shah being exiled to Egypt and then reports of his NHL cancer....I also remember Jimmy Carter deciding to admit the Shah to the US for treatment, against advice from Embassy and State Department staff.
In the modern era, Carter was the first president to openly publicly denigrate his successor in office. He has never possessed one bit of class or humility. His medical condition is between him, his God, and his doctors so no comment on that. He is and has always been despicable as a US citizen.
Your memory was sure better than mine.
It is true that Carter let him him in for a very brief period of time. He then refused to allow the Shah back in to have his spleen removed.
I did not remember that.
Remember that cancer treatment can’t be facilitated in a few days, so I’m not sure what great favor Carter did here. Nothing much good could have come of it.
I should have credited Carter more than I did, but the fact is he still refused him long term treatment which is required.

Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
I sure didn’t remember it that way.
