Naive and foolish, Mr. Carter was, and continues his sad plea for "relativity" in these days!

Awwwwww! Jeesh timm!
Carter is responsible for Iran? Khomeini?????
Timm, my good buddy, do you know who supported the Shah rright to the bitter end, the same guy that gave him special entry to the US so he could have cancer treatments? The guy that fanned the flames in the Islamic world and then resigned in disgrace, just like his vice president Agnew?
Before I tell you the answer, so you don't have to google it, I'll remind you that Carter, despite his many faults, won the Nobel Peace prize for the "Camp David Accords". That agreement lasted for quite a while, before tensions arose in Israel after the assasiniation and was replaced by beligerants, as was the guy that set the stage......
and his name:
NIXON!!!

Go Republicans! Go!!

Carter supposed that a theology based govt would work,rather than the Shah. Carters own people said the same thing,as well as many former collegues and constituents! Carter "begged" for that Peace Prize...as if it was the coronation of his crazy and misguided notions! I had forgetten your dislike of Nixon...but it plays out now. It's as plain as day...read the article.

Timm,
I read the article you linked. I'll go back and reread it to see if I missed anything. Blaming Carter doesn't pass the "smell" test, anymore than blaming
the invasion of Iraq on any other than the "decider" does.
In the meanwhile, read this one. It's about a president that skirted law and hid facts from congress, so that he and his buddies could supply arms to the theocracy in Iran.

Your link says that there was no evidence to link the President, so why do you continue on as if it is fact? So much license taken in your "collage" of History! Really

Timm,
My guess is that you missed this, and yes, Reagan and Bush S, though implicated, weren't found "guilty".
"Higher administration officials, particularly Reagan, Vice President Bush, and William J. Casey (former director of the CIA, who died in May, 1987), were implicated in some testimony, but the extent of their involvement remained unclear."
Timm, do tell, exactly what crimes was Carter implicated for?
History? Read about it. You might learn something. Really!
