The Carter Administration, And Iran's Islamic Revolution

This article is going to talk the failure of Carter's policy to Iran on the aspect of sequel after his series wrong actions. The conflicts in the foreign policy between two important members, realistic Brzezinski and idealistic Vance, lead to an inefficient structure in the Government. Carter did not unite them but keep in silence and torture. What clear evidence is his information system did tell him nothing on the Iran's terrible change. By the influences of Vietnam War and Watergate, Carter changed his foreign policy from realism onto the idealistic track which emphasizes human rights. Carter did not take special care to his allies compared to his enemies. That leads to the collapse of Pahlavi's domination and the weak influence on the third world for the US. The lose of Iran evoke the ambition of moving to the south of the Soviet Union. It attacked Afghanistan soon after that. The US had to change his twin pillar policy to find new agent in the Mideast. Khomeini and his Fundamentalism "importing revolution" stirred this area in a long period. Nowadays, the US foreign policy has cut off the idealism, but it still lack of comprehensive consideration including complex factors in religion. The reconstruction after Iraqi war and nuclear crisis in Iran will test the US. And only by learning the experiences from the history, the US will avoid losing the control in the Mideast.
