""...we had Carter for 4 years but thanks to him we've been stuck with Iranian fundamentalism for 30 years..."
One of the most idiot statements ever made on ET.
Quote from dddooo:
You think? What's your opinion about this paragraph then:
Did the Carter administration "lose" Iran, as some have suggested? Gaddis Smith might have put it best: "President Carter inherited an impossible situation -- and he and his advisers made the worst of it." Carter seemed to have a hard time deciding whether to heed the advice of his aggressive national security advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, who wanted to encourage the Shah to brutally suppress the revolution, or that of his more cautious State Department, which suggested Carter reach out to opposition elements in order to smooth the transition to a new government. In the end he did neither, and suffered the consequences. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/carter/peopleevents/e_hostage.html
Imagine that Z10, the article pretty much agrees with "One of the most idiotic comments ever made at ET". And it's not even on FoxNews or WorldNetDaily, it's on reasonably liberal PBS.
