In the name of human rights

"In the name of improving human rights, President Jimmy Carter's administration undermined the shah's regime in Iran. As a result, and with the help of the refuge they found in the West, primarily in France, Ayatollah Khomeini and his supporters succeeded in gaining control in Tehran. The rest is history, history that has been going on for more than a quarter of a century, with no change on the horizon."
