On the fall of the Shah, I'm looking at THE PRIZE now and see that Gerald Ford had a bitter argument with The Shah who refused to cooperate with the US on bringing down oil prices. The Shah was a meglomaniac and had bought so many US weapons systems that he was a huge military power. He was supposed to be able to fully defend himself. But he was way too selfish, greedy and ostentacious and his secret police were really brutal on anyone who criticized him. Secretary SImon called the Shah "a nut" and the US gradually lost all control over him. ANyway, when Carter came in it was only a matter of time before revolution broke out in Iran, and the Shah would not let us control or help him. Then came the big OPEC rebellion. Let ma ask you this too. If Reaganites had a better plan for how to deal with Iran, why didn't they use it, instead of just sending them arms? Did Reagan invade Iran and supplant the Ayotollah? Nope. Never even considered it.
