LOL.

Apparently i missed the BB episodes where the Iranians were trying to murder Saudi foreign service officials! (Maybe Season 4 gets a lot more elaborate....i'm not up to speed yet.)

The time to take them out was during the hostage crisis. Too bad we had a wuss in the White House.

Actually the time to 'take them out' was when we put the Shah in power in the first place. "Nation Building" is something the US really, really does not do well. We're too damn clueless.

Bingo. But I'm sure it's still entirely their fault somehow (he said with the absolute moral certainty he derived from being born American).

No, that gave two generations of Iranians to prosper for the next 25 years. I suppose if you had your way you would have advanced clerical rule and misery from 1979 to 1953. They had been eyeing the throne for a century. Carter finally gave it to them.
