"Islam has radicalized during the Carter and Clinton administrations partly because of the barely concealed Democratic contempt and hostility towards covert operations." >>> You don't think Afghanistan had something to do with that? (Didn't the Afghan war occur sometime between your two 'bookend administrations? Seems like you skipped 12 years!) "During the Carter administration, a Saudi King was assasinated, OPEC was formed, Saddam Hussein came to power, the Ayatollah Khomeini came to power, our embassy in Tehran was attacked..." >>> Yep. (Think Iran's problems with us --- which ultimately permitted the Theocrats to rise to power) might have had something to do with the FACT that we OVERTHREW their Democratically elected government and put the Shahs back in power TWICE to be our pet Dictatorial leaders? >>> If it were your country, wouldn't you be pissed?
