He ran in the aftermath of an unpopular war and on a platform of human rights; and he won. His theme was change, and that's what America and the Middle East got. No, not Barack Obama; Jimmy Carter. The Liberal Left Democratic president believed that America needed to support an Islamic revolution.</p>
<p>Carter perceived Khomeini as a "religious holy man in a grassroots, democratic revolution," rather than the founding father of modern terrorism. Carter's ambassador, Andrew Young, said, "Khomeini will eventually be hailed a saint." His ambassador to Iran, William Sullivan, declared, "Khomeini is a Gandhi-like figure." The former president of France, Valery Giscard D'Estaing told me that in January 1979 on the French Island of Guadeloupe, Carter informed him, the West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, and British Prime Minister James Callaghan that the U.S. government could not support the Shah of Iran but was working behind the scenes to oust him in favor of a cleric—Khomeini. I was told the same thing by General Robert Huyser, sent to Iran by Carter to keep the Iranian military in check.</p>
