Don't forget the hostages that they took in 1979.

Thanks to the Ayatollah, and the hostage Crisis, Reagan beat Jimmy Carter. George HW Bush was a VP, and then president, and then his son - twice.


Carter should have deposed the Ayatollah Khomeini (Ruhollah Mousavi),
a religious radical fundamentalist, and replaced him with a secular government run by a Shah.

If there never had been a hostage situation in Iran, the world may have been very different today.
