Imagine how many people who would be alive still if Iran hadn't fallen into theocracy in 1979. The theocrats themselves made Iran what it is, but there is plenty of blame to go around for allowing this to happen, including that born by President Jimmy Carter. Iran was an ally before 1979, and no worse than many of our other allies, including Hussein in Iraq. President Ford watched as our South Vietnamese ally fell in 1975, and President Carter watched on as Iran fell in 1979. Surely, the Israelis know that their American 'ally' has a long history of walking away and leaving chaos in our wake.
