Democratic Presidents and the Loss of Civilization

Ok, maybe the title is a little over the top, but look at what I am saying. Our strongest Arab ally in the Middle East was Iran and the Shah of Iran. When Carter was president he used the influence of the President's office to force the Shah to allow the return to Iran of the Ayatollah Khomeini. Then came the exile of the Shah and the Islamic Revolution, including the capture of the US Embassy in Tehran. I was serving in the army at that time and felt sure that we would rescue our hostages, but Carter did nothing. Then it came out that Washington had ordered the Marines to not defend the embassy, their purpose for being there. Fast forward to the 1990's and Clinton ordering the bombing of Serbs in defense of the radical muslims in what was Yugoslavia. Remember that it was the Serbs in WWII who helped rescue US Airmen who were shot down over enemy territory. It was the muslims who were fighting alongside the Nazis and trying to kill Americans. And now we have Obama who watches as our longtime ally, Egypt, is swept in violence and revolution led by the same radical muslim ideology that held Americans hostage for over year (in complete violation of the Geneva Convention, by the way, not that anyone but the US abides by that _____ piece of paper). Do you see the connection? It may be wierd coincidence but...
