Father of the Iranian revolution
By MICHAEL D. EVANS

We just don't get it. The Left in America is screaming to high heaven that the mess we are in in Iraq and the war on terrorism has been caused by the right-wing and that George W. Bush, the so-called "dim-witted cowboy," has created the entire mess.

The truth is the entire nightmare can be traced back to the liberal democratic policies of the leftist Jimmy Carter, who created a firestorm that destabilized our greatest ally in the Muslim world, the shah of Iran, in favor of a religious fanatic, the ayatollah Khomeini.

"Fellow Americans, our duty is before us. Let us go forward, determined to
serve selflessly a vision of man with God, government for people, and humanity
at peace. For it is now our task to tend and preserve, through the darkest and
coldest nights, that 'sacred fire of liberty' that President Washington spoke
of two centuries ago, a fire that... remains a beacon to all the oppressed
of the world, shining forth from this kindly, pleasant, greening land we
call America." ---Ronald Reagan (http://Reagan2020.US/)

"Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come
from the subjects of government. The history of liberty is the history
of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of
governmental power, not the increase of it." ---Woodrow Wilson
