The Shah brought his own fall upon himself. He was arrogant, selfish, greedy and very hostile toward the masses of his own country. Textbook conditions for a revolution. My feelings toward the Shah have nothing to do with. And neither did Carter's. The Iranian people took him down, at least the great majority of them. There was an upperclass making up 5-10%, then a poor lower class making up the rest. The upper class now live in Los Angeles and Paris mostly. That left the massses. Of course the Shah would have been better for the US, but the Shah blew it. Like Bush, he didn't give a damn about his own people.

BTW: Bush's economic policies re also only good for the top 5-10%, so eventually under that kind of regime the people will rebel and demand their government back. Bush's elitism and the Shah's are similar in many ways, and neither of them work for long.
