Trump to hit Iran with new sanctions
- Thread starter WVU82_rivals
- Start date
if we had a president with balls since 1979, Iran would not be so brash and surely wouldn't developing nuclear weapons.
Carter screwed up A LOT OF THINGS...
Eagle Claw...
Carter began directly meddling in Iranian Affairs after he took office in 1977.
Carter's indecisiveness and incompetence became obvious to the rest of the World. The Soviet Union took great advantage of having Carter in the Oval Office. The Communist country invaded eastern neighbor Afghanistan, beginning an attempted power grab aimed at eventual Soviet takeovers in Iran and Pakistan. Carter's response to the invasion of Afghanistan was the U.S. boycott of the 1980 Olympic games held in Moscow. Need I say anymore?

Also resulting from Carter's abandonment of the Shah was the Iran-Iraq war, which would have never occurred if the Shah remained in power. Over a half million people died during that war, including thousands of Iranians from Sadam Hussein chemical weapons. Hussein continued building his military to avoid future land attacks, which would become the cornerstone for his 1990 invasion of Kuwait. This of course became Desert Storm.
The aftermath of Jimmy Carter's Iran policy debacle is still present today. The lives lost, as a result of his incompetence in dealing with Iran before, during and after the Islamic Revolution is far greater than the current turmoil in Iraq. Considering the support insurgents groups in Iraq as well as terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah get from Iran, Carter's mistakes as President are still costing lives all over the Middle East.
Maybe it's an Iranian supplied artillery shell used by Hezbollah to attack Israel. Or an Iraqi insurgent trained by Iran to make bombs. We must not forget the seemingly endless supply of suicide bombers in Osama Bin Laden's, Al Qeada network. The fact is that these murderers and countless others like them exist today, not because George Bush made mistakes in Iraq, but because Jimmy Carter failed in Iran as well as turning U.S. foreign policy into a doormat for anyone to step on.

The Shah was a tyrant, but far better than the ayatollah. Women could wear what they wanted, go to college, get a job, and relatively speaking had comparable rights to men at least as compared to other Middle Eastern countries.
As I have posted before, my wife is Lebanese and Syrian. We have many friends who are Muslim. There are totally convinced that democracy will never succeed in the Middle East. They fervently believe that a ruler or even dictator must be in charge to keep down the various factions from fighting and killing each other.
recent history would support that theory. Still a tribal mentality in much of that region. Yugoslavia was another example under Tito although far more complex. (Catholic, Muslim, Orthodox)
