now we know why they light their oilfields on fire when they are invaded by the gangsters of this nation!

It's always simultaneously hilarious and disturbing to observe the cases in which the fight for national independence has elicited outrage in Washington and (by proxy) the press. One of the things that came out of the 1979 Iranian revolution was the discovery of a CIA produced tape giving instruction on how to torture women.

Yet the popular perception was (and is) of the threat of unprovoked Iranian violence. People were wearing 'Nuke Iran' T-shirts in the streets after the hostages were taken.

Thanks Jimmy. There's no question about America's role in building the Middle East into what it is today. Next time I hear a Democrat tell me a Republican is a war monger and greedy for oil, I'll copy this clip.

"now we know why they light their oilfields on fire when they are invaded" that's exactly it. they know it's all about oil while the american people still do not thanks to the media.

[DickOPlenty]

"vital interests" same words used by hillary recently. apparently the media talked more openly about the importance of oil in the 70's

Wow have you ever got it wrong fraizer57

Well Carter is now the second worst President...Obama's at least good for something

President Carter should have allowed the Shah to crack down on his own people. It would have been a hard choice but geopolitics would be different and perhaps better for the United States in the long-run. By the way, you need to take a more balanced approach of the Carter administration. I did with the Reagan administration. Realized he was not the crazy conservative people made him out to be.

This mother fu..ker should be behind bars. Carter is the father of the Islamic revolution in Iran. By overthrowing the progressive & pro western Shah of Iran & by selling Iran to the terroist anti USA Mullahs in 1979 he unleashed the virus of radical Islam. Rise of Hezbullah & Hamas, killings of the US army in Lebanon, Sep 11 is all the direct result of Carter's evil deeds not say about 2 million dead in Iran Iraq war 7 million refugees & the mess in Iran since 1979. Fu..ck Carter.

America's interests should come first, not Israel's.

It does not surprise me that AIPAC is the strongest ethnic lobby in America. If Jews didn't look out for their own, there would be few, if any, Jews left in the world. I don't know how Forbes does its ratings, or where oil companies are on the list, but some special interests (like those who depend on oil consumption for their profits) are so big, they are literally integral to our economy, so less lobbying is needed to make their case to Congress.

[wog7]

Israel certainly doesn't "direct" US foreign policy, but it is the case that AIPAC is the strongest ethnic lobby in America and does exert considerable influence on Congress. It consistently makes the top 5 most powerful lobbies list (Forbes).
