but when the Islamic Revolution tried to overthrow the Shah, despite the fact that Carter kept promising assistance, it was never given, and we not only didn't help the Shah, we abandoned him and refused to even allow him into the country.

The problem, IMO, was that the Shah had just become such a megalo-maniac, that his behavior made it REALLY difficult to justify defending him..

And isn't this where we currently find ourselves, once again, with regard to the Saudis and Kuwaitis??
