If it isn't Clinton's fault, it must be Jimmy Carter's

If that damn Carter woulda been tougher, Reagan wouldn'ta coddled terrorists and become one himself and then no 9-11. Shore.

Of course, if we hadn't ousted the democratically popular Mossadegh when he began making noises about nationalizing Iran's oil fields, the Ayatollahs might never have come to power, but that woulda meant forgoing the nice chunk of Iran's oil output we got for helping the Shah rule.

Chalabi's been kinda quiet. Probably working on the Iraq Savak.
