has jimmy peanuts carter -made Iran what is today -a threat to the world ?

Question

buyamerican -i have done my research ! before i post a question

Answer 1

You deserve a star and I am giving you one gladly. Larry King had Carter on last year and called him an American treasure. He should have said an American disaster. Next to Israel, Iran had a great standard of living and our friend the Shah was great for his people. He was a good friend to the USA and we{USA} stabbed him when he was made to abdicate. The mess in Iran was Carter's folly. Enjoy your star it is my way of shaking your hand

Answer 2

Well, considering that Bush mislead the country into two wars, and according to many, he lied to do it. Why do you believe anything the government says?

I sure as hell don't and I have another reason.

Check out this link:
http://www.globalissues.org/Geopolitics/ArmsTrade/BigBusiness.asp
Its a 2005 congressional study about international arms sales.

The USA has a vested interest to keep up conflict and wars.

Pragmatically, look at this for a moment.

Almost every federal politician depends on Jobs in their districts from the Military Industrial Machine. They also get donations and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that corruption exists as well. A few people are getting rich off of this, and therefore, the owners, suppliers, workers, and politicians, it is in their best interest to keep up international finger pointing, accusations, conflict and wars.

Further, look at the math of how many terrorists are killed everyday. I sat down and ran out the numbers, based on the estimates of total terrorists (and insurgents), minus the amount killed daily. The war would last for 70 to over 100 years. That is assuming that the hatred that produces doesn't produce anymore insurgents and terrorists. This war on terror could go on for a thousand years.

To the op, you said you did your research, then tell us what it is, the conclusions you came too, and provide some links.

Just saying it and doing it are two different things.

Answer 3

No, it goes further back than all your initial responders state. America’s relationship with Iran has been extremely hostile over the past several decades. From the perspective of most Americans, including yours, the seminal event of US-Iranian relations was the siege of the US embassy in Tehran and the subsequent holding of its staff as hostages back in the 1970s.
Although that hostage-taking was brutal and unjustified, many Americans lack a more global perspective of the history of American interactions with Iran. One of the most critical events in that relationship occurred over 54 years ago during the Eisenhower Administration.
In 1951, the control of Iran’s oil fields by a British company the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, or AIOC ( now known as British Petroleum) became a hot political topic. The Iranian people believed, with some justification, that the existing deal between the Iranian government and AIOC unfairly benefited the company. The AIOC held a monopoly of the Iranian country's own oil resources from the early 20th century.
An up and coming member of the government, Mohammad Mossadegh, became Iran's 1st democratically elected Prime Minister. He demanded a renegotiation of contracts that would have benefitted the people of Iran not a conglomerate.
As an ardent nationalist he was a driving force behind an Iranian attempt to nationalize the AIOC. Second, fiercely independent, Mossadegh refused to do the bidding of the U.S. government.
This meant in the eyes of the West, he had to be undermined and forced out of office.
The 1953 CIA coup in Iran was named “Operation Ajax” and was engineered by a CIA agent named Kermit Roosevelt, the grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt. The Shah was propped up by the US for the next 25 years and ruled as a dictator by keeping control of his people using one of the world’s most terrifying and torturous secret police, the Savak. The Savak was responsible for thousands of tortures and executions of dissidents in the nation.

When you suppress a nation, eventually it will burst at the seams. It was this foundation that was laid under Eisenhower that allowed the dissent, rage and hatred for our nation to fester until it blew up in 1979.

Answer 4

you have become your historic previous slightly mangled right here. Carter grow to be on good words with the Shah of Iran. The Iranians did not like him or U.S. help for him. subsequently there grow to be a take over of the U.S. Embassy in an attempt to get the U.S. to deliver the Shah back toi Iran. Carter had not something to do with the instituting of Islamic rule in Iran. Iran maight not be as effective as that's on the instant had Ronald Reagan not sent them weapons in substitute for different hostages interior the 1980's. specific, the Shah grow to be professional-western and the west grow to be professional-shah. It grow to be the Iranian those that did not like his autocratic and exceedingly plenty despotic rule.

Answer 5

You need to read a little more history of our involvement in Iran. Carter didn't have anything to do with the coup that overthrew the elected government in Iran and installed the Shah. Carter didn't have anything to do with the CIA running the intelligence/security apparatus in Iran for so many years.
Do some research.

Answer 6

No, the Iran-US relationship goes back further.
In 1953, the US and Great Britain overthrew the democratically elected Mossagedeh and replaced him with the Shah of Iran when Mossagedeh tried to nationalize the oil industry.
Persians have a long memory and hold a grudge.
Sorry, but the Shah was an autocratic thug, not a friend to to the common man that's fo' sho.

Answer 7

The only threat to the world I see is the USA. You had nuclear weapons for 63 years, you are the only country that actually used them and when you did so it was to murder civilians, women and children.

You hypoctitically critise Iran for wanting nuclear technology to produce electricity, which you already have, because you think they may use the technology to make weapons, which you already did.

And I don't see Irans armed forces invading other countries. It is the USA doing that.

Who is the threat to the world??????

Answer 8

No, that started with the American CIA under Dulles during the Eisenhower administration in 1954. This is blowback for putting the Shah on the Peacock Throne.

Answer 9

I think it'd be tough to lay all the blame at James Earl's doorstep.
However, it is NO SECRET that the surge in Radical Islam was sparked off in Iran against the former Shah of Iran by a Radical Cleric Khomeni. The 441 days of Americans being held hostage is a Rallying Point for Radical Islam and is widely held as a historical "High Point" for the "Indoctrination" of the successive generations of Terror in the name of Allah.

Each violent act in the name of Allah has the effect of adding layers of resentment against Islam as a whole. It's not the religion as much as the Dirt Bags committing atrocities in the name of their religion. Unfortunately....... Some of my fellow Christians are no better.

My thought is ...... as long as there is ONE believer in Islam willing to trade his/her life for the life of a Christian or Jew, then none of us are secure. We must plan accordingly.

Answer 10

Iran is a threat to the world about as much as you are a threat to me!!!

Answer 11

No. Operation Ajax did. When we in the west overthrew a democratic leader and installed a dictator.
