On Shah’s visit to US 1977
In this visit, Carter had pushed his famous so-called “Human Rights” cause. He was very pushy and aggressive. One of the highlights of this trip was a conversation between Carter and Shah in the White House:
Carter: You need to consider granting more democratic rights to your opposition. You must treat your political prisoners more humane and possibly release some. If you don’t do these tasks, you will lose control and riots will break out …
Shah: I am not the one with protestors and tear gas in streets of my country!
By this sarcastic remark, Shah was referring to the Anti Shah protests held in front of the White House which got out of control and US police had to use violence and tear gas to end the protests. Things got so bad that Shah was tearing due to tear gas during the complete Carter speech on the White House lawn!
Carter’s Human Rights Crusade dragged on and on throughout 1978 to the point that one day he would encourage Shah to be firm with the protestors and the next day he would avoid Shah of using violence! This Stop and Go policy along with Shah’s illness (cancer) had finally cause Shah of not knowing what to do, remain weak, indecisioned and not firmly handling the protests until the protests got too large to handle and by then full revolution was unavoidable! Carter’s so-called “Human Rights Policy” was one of the direct causes for the 1978 Iranian disaster (Islamic Revolution). For more information, read:

On Carter’s visit to Iran 1977
This visit had become one of Carter’s greatest blunders and reasons for him not getting elected for the 2nd term and later throughout the history to be blamed for disastrous foreign policy, illiteracy on global affairs and responsible for the rebirth of Islamist Fundamentalism via Khomeini.
One of the highlights of this trip was Carter’s silly speech in the royal banquet in Tehran. Carter had opened his mouth prior to thinking. He misspoke without prior analysis. He stated:
Carter: Iran is an island of stability amongst a troubled region (Middle East) which provides security for the whole region.
This blunder was based on combine false and flawed analysis by CIA, State Department and Pentagon. Carter said these words at the dinner table when in a few months into next year (1978); Iran went into a chaotic anarchy and through a revolution! Carter was so out of touch with realities of Iran, Middle East and the World! This episode, loss of Iran, loss of Panama, rise of Islamism, hostage issue and other foreign policy disasters, gave Reagan ammunition to trash Carter’s global wisdom, foreign policy and presidential authority. Eventually Reagan had won the election and Carter had become a one term president.
