[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1034824, member: 2189"] With the point of 1953' being true, why didn't Carter come out and admit the truth, accept the known brutality of the Shah and his regime and in all likelihood change not only the history of the Middle East in regards to fundamental Islam but very well likely insured a 2nd term? Hostages come home, Iran conflict defused, he's a hero. To make matters worse, Carter even went so far as to insure the explosion of violent, radical islam when on July 3, 1979', 6 months before the Soviets even invaded, secretly ordered aid to begin to flow to anti-Soviet Afghans who became the heart and soul of what would become Al Qaeda some years later. The even greater irony is that Iran are historic Persians, a different legacy and history unlike it's Arab sunni neighbors and it was they who exploded into radicalism because they watched the Iranian model and ran with it. Makes one almost wonder if the historians one day with prove all the global conspiracy theories to be true. In Jan. 1998', Carter's closest adviser and oddly enough also to President Obama, Zbigniew Brzezinski gave an interview with the late great Alexander Cockburn and Jeffery St. Clair which was published in [URL="http://www.counterpunch.org/1998/01/15/how-jimmy-carter-and-i-started-the-mujahideen/"][COLOR=#ff0000]Counterpunch[/COLOR][/URL]. So Afghanistan is a trap and yet I'm sure he told his new boss in Obama to amp up his approach to Afghanistan while knowing full good and well what the known history of Afghanistan is and that is, "the Graveyard of Empires!" Funny how democrats love to let the republicans take the credit on this one not that the republicans aren't willing partners either. Speaking of taking the credit, what about deregulation? Oh sure, another legacy of the great Reagan, the super hero savior of America but like Afghanistan, are the democrats just trying to fool it's own while allowing the republicans to do likewise? [URL="http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2008/03/its-deregulation-stupid?page=1"][COLOR=#ff0000]Mar. 2008' Mother Jones[/COLOR][/URL] Carter rightly or wrongly is most often vilified or celebrated for many reasons but either side more often than not paper over their claims with mostly myth.
