Athena, when did the US occupy Iran? I wasn't aware of that event... |
Thanks for the question. I used to be in an Iranian forum, and couldn't understand the argument that the Shaw should have used more force to suppress his opposition. This is different from the argument that the problem was he was too brutal, and Carter should be faulted for backing him. The following, explains the problem was caused by the communist and it was a mistake for Carter to pressure for human rights. Making my arguement wrong in an important way.
However, we were providing the Shaw with military expertise and training. We did not control Iran, but had our troops there, running over people. To really understand the whole ugly mess, we have to learn about the games the USSR and US were playing. Both have contributed to empowering the terrorist. What a mess!
