This man is reponsible that Iran was coming under control of the islamic fanatics.
When the Shah of Iran left the Iran he gave the command of the imperial troops an US-General.
All of the imperial iranian generals in the high command wanted to fight immediately the coming up islamic revolution but they were ordered to wait because Ayatollah Khomeini was seen by Carter as a "second Ghandi which hasnt to be stopped".
When the Air France plane with Khomeini entered iranian territory the IIAF wanted to shoot the plane down - but it was forbidden by the US-advisors of Carter.
So the chaos started: US-embassy-hostage, Iran-Iraq-War, a tremendous rise of terrorist activities, Lebanon, Afghanistan, 2nd Gulf War and much more.
And the most important thing is the fact that because of this idiot Carter the USA and Israel lost the Iran as an allied base.
Without this policy the non-arabic nations of Israel, Turkey and Iran could today control the region and a mad Saddam which is threatening the World wouldnt exist.
