Unfortunately on the MIddle East you lack sufficient knowledge to be able to understand the issues. Of course you disagree with the informed opinions.>

And of course I believe it has little to do with the knowledge per se (although there are all sorts of books you can read about the Shaw and "savak" and all that that clearly show his regime was despotic and untenable in the long run, making your assertion moot if it has any truth at all), but to do with the larger picture.

One person (well some folks version of Jesus Christ perhaps) couldn't have possible "caused" all the things that have transpired in the middle east. These places were all clearly ripe for change... '

IN FACT: One of the many things purportedly great about America is our system of government... "far superior to dictatorships and communism" we all learn in school. "Those are bound to fall apart".

Is that not correct?? Were they just fine and Obama/Carter swooped in and did away with them??

I dunno guy... I'm a bit worried about your train of thought here...
