You are wrong. The US was blamed for the 1953 coup against the elected government of Mohammad Mosaddegh. The coup was orchestrated by the CIA among other western powers. The youth were against the USA at the time of the Iranian Revolution and the Shah was highly unpopular. The Iranians still have not forgotten the US involvement in the coup.Suppressing the crazy students in 1979 would have been ugly and jimmy carter had no stomach for it
But it was doable with US support from behind the scenes
iran was on a course to becoming a modern and progressive in the good sense of the word western style society
It might even have been a British-style democracy by now
But the fanatic muslim 24 Century throwbacks wanted something else
My point is that you are wrong to compare Carter‘s rescue mission with W’s invasion of Iraq, if that is what you are attempting to do.he tried, he failed.
the story of his time in office.
Why you ask?
Because Carter was pivotal in toppling the Shah of Iran and delivering Persia to the the most dangerous terrorist nation on earth
His decision to abandon the Shah is the worst decision that any American president ever made
The youth were fools who ran around college campuses in western countries shouting “PEACE BE TO THE ALLAH!” only because of freedoms they would not have in a islamic theoracyYou are wrong.

Carter was a terrible president. But, Biden is also a terrible liar. Carter wanted to make America a better country. Biden hates America much like Obama.
Worked so well in Iraq.We did not need to invade Iran to save it (and the world) from jihadi radicals

The result is the same.apples and oranges
It was not the worst decision, but nevertheless not so good because it did radicalize some iranian intellectualsThe worst decision ever made was the US and Britain instigating a coup that led to the overthrow of the elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh and put the Shah in power. That was Eisenhower.
did I mention W?My point is that you are wrong to compare Carter‘s rescue mission with W’s invasion of Iraq, if that is what you are attempting to do.
