They might have the right, but not the ability.

<< and that their decision to go so far toward the extreme, was in great part a reaction to our support for the Shah. >>

And...... our support for the Shah came because there were no better evils. It was either the Shah, or a Saddam type. Unfortunately, Carter screwed up (again), and Iran went to the dogs.

Would we had been better off, though, if Saddam had won?
