    >>President Jimmy Carter openly avowed to other world leaders that he was going to take down the Shah.

    Having known a member of the Shah's general staff, you're a bit mistaken here. Carter offered the Shah assistance. The Shah turned him down because he didn't want to unleash his military on the population.

    As he & his son told me, they could've stopped Khomeni, but there would've been a LOT of civilian casualties.
