Book Review: Palestine Peace Not Apartheid by Jimmy Carter
http://www.counterpunch.org/roberts01112007.html
Carter’s Inconvenient Truths by Paul Craig Roberts is better than any of the many reviews I have read. Again someone is reviewing Carter’s writing on this subject. The book is easy to read and well documented. It clearly presents a picture of the situation in Palestine which is the prime cause of troubles in the Middle East. Anyone who really wants to know about the situation should read it. For decades I have been warning about this tragedy. I learned some more by reading this book. I have never been a fan of Carter as I consider him responsible for Iran. It was on his watch that the rug was pulled out from under the Shah. Reza Pahlavi was the best friend America and Israel had in the Middle East. Yes, he had some warts but compared to what followed him he was the best for Iranians and America. Another personal story – everyone I knew in Iran either fled the country or they were killed. MB

Michael what are your thoughts on what happened to Mossadegh in the 50s?
Posted on 18-Jan-07 at 1:18 pm | PermalinkOf course that was the beginings of the problem when Eisenhower backed the Britsh and sent in Kim Roosevelt to help Peter Sterling (Brit) to create the overthrow of Mossedegh. Wrong from a political position correct from a pragmatic power grap.Also questionable intel that Mossedegh was tied up with the Russians.
