:Parse all you want. Jimmy Carter installed the current Iranian regime in power--the one building nukes, a threat to peace & Israel, and a terrorist state. And he did this in the name of [[human rights]]. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 13:38, 29 March 2007 (EDT)

It is not "parsing" to understand the difference between accusing someone of an incompetent foreign policy that resulted in the rise of a dictator, and accusing someone of deliberately offering moral and financial aid to that dictator. No, Carter did not "intall the current Iranian regime." That is, to put it bluntly, a lie. And if you are going to equate foriegn policy errors with the deliberate installation of a repressive regime, then the person to blame is Eisenhower -- whose administration in 1953 quite deliberately and knowingly overthrew a Democratically elected government in Iran and installed the Shah.
