The Jimmy Carter Administration made a big mistake when it failed to support the Shah of Iran. The world would be a better place if the Iranian revolution in 1978 had not succeeded.
This is not to say that the Shah was a great guy. But the Shah was a friend of the United States. He permitted US spy planes to fly near its border with the Soviet Union. And we certainly didn't have the terrorism coming out of Iran during the Shah's reign that we have had since.
Jimmy Carter was a nice guy, but he was a terrible President.
