What the heck is it with the Democrats and their love affair with maniacal dictators, especially Persian ones???
1. On this very day, January 16th of 1979, the second most incompetent President of the United States looked at his handiwork: Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, the leader of Iran since 1941, was forced to flee Iran.
Just two short weeks later, Carter got his wish, and Ayatollah Khomeini, a radical Islamic cleric returned from France and seized control. By August the judiciary decreed it illegal to criticize Islam and Iran’s spiritual leaders.
2. First the 'micro' result:
"When the Iranian revolution came to power, with the help of Democratic President Jimmy Carter, the Ayatollah Khomeini killed more human beings (about twenty thousand) in two weeks than had been killed by the Shah during his entire thirty-eight years. Khomeini followed this by sending hundreds of thousands of Iranians to die in the Iran-Iraq war, as martyrdom was needed to resurrect the Islamic Empire."
Paul Berman, “Terror and Liberalism,” p. 108
3. And, the 'macro' result of Carter's magnum opus:
The 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran has been compared in importance to the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. “The central problems of world affairs today spring from the Iranian Revolution much as those of the 20th century sprang from the Russian Revolution.” http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703583404576080290722622876.html
And so, Democrat Jimmy Carter bequeathed to the world, a home-base for terrorism.
Oh....and he showed his humanity in December of '79, when he ordered the cancer-
ridden and dying former ally of the United States, the Shah out of our country.
The Shah died in Cairo July 27, 1980.
4. Probably an opportunity to put certain geo-political events in perspective:
a. Democrat Franklin Roosevelt made Communist China possible.
b. Democrat Jimmy Carter made a radical Islamist Iran possible
c. Democrat Barack Hussein Obama made certain that Iran's 7th Century savages have nuclear weapons.
Just imagine the world today with a capitalist China and a more peaceful Middle East.
Or, while we're imagining better things....never having had Democrats from Woodrow Wilson on.....
5.Now...back to reality. Iran was originally known as Persia, and its people, Persians, not Arabs. But, they are Muslims, and due to the poison that seeps from the holy book, the Q'ran, they remain eternal enemies of the Jewish people.
Hence, the name change from the time-honored 'Persia,' to the more contemporary 'Iran.'
"The name Iran means ‘Aryan,’ and was chosen to support a massive Nazi-dominated infrastructure which was ready to provide oil to the Nazis. By the early 1930s, Reza Pahlavi's close ties with Nazi Germany began worrying the Allied states.[8] Germany's modern state and economy highly impressed the Shah, and there were hundreds of Germans involved in every aspect of the state, from setting up factories to building roads, railroads and bridges.[9]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German–Iranian_relations
That particular characteristic... anti-Semitism, may, in fact, be what both Carter and Obama saw as their ...affinity.... with Iran.
Advancing Islamofascism, just a bonus.
