Re: I'd appreciate it if you could give a summary of the book. The U.S. cheated and eventually this created blowback. Those who cheated used the blowback to destroy Jimmy Carter's re-election. Lesson learned? Cheaters never give up and often win oblique and unknowable battles in the future. Of course if that's too glib (and I believe it certainly was), there is this from the publisher of "All the Shah's Men" that is informative: wiley.com The antics of Kermit Roosevelt, duplicitously working on behalf of the management of British Petroleum is contrasted to other nefarious actions of U.S. representatives in this illuminating interview: democracynow.org *** Re: Any ideas how I could get my hand on the (Sharatt)diaries? You might contact the Jews For Justice organization. Other than that, I haven't done any research on this subject. *** Re: Our problems will not be solved by military might alone. I'm not sure what you might mean by "our problems". It strikes me that the largest problem that we have in America is a profound disconnect between what the American people think they are (decent, hard-working, knowledgeable, worldly) and what they really are (rapacious, a corporate elite that refuses to work on progress when it can work on schemes to defraud others, an ignorant and propagandized general population easily defrauded by malevolent leadership and raging xenophobia being the norm among the populace.) *** To paraphrase Pogo: "We have met the enemy, and it isn't the Arabs, the Persians, the Europeans, the Africans, the Latin Americans or the Asians, though we have every intention of deluding ourselves forever that this is the case."
