U.S. Must Not Repeat Carter's Mistakes

Geoffrey Wawro, The Daily Beast
So far the Obama administration seems to be getting it right on Egypt. The president has called for an "orderly transition," and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has warned there must not be “a takeover that would lead to oppression,” a clear reference to Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood.More than just the right words will be needed. The Obama team should be looking closely at Washington’s awful mismanagement of the Iranian revolution of 1978-79 to make sure they do not repeat the errors of the Carter administration.
