Jimmy Carter the Liberal Left and World Chaos: A Carter/Obama Plan That Will Not Work

Jimmy Carter: The Liberal Left and World Chaos: A Carter/Obama Plan That Will Not Work I have read several of Dr. Evan's books and believe that he is telling the truth. Most liberals are naive about the implications of the Bush, now Carter/Obama plans to appease the terrorist regimes in the Middle East by giving more and more and more of the Israeli homeland away to their centuries old enemies, who in the words of Iran's terrorist president want to "push Isreal into the sea", and deny the historic facts of the holocaust. Paraphrasing my seminary Biblical history professor, quoting an ancient source: "Isn't it odd that God chose the Jews. It's not odd at all, since the Jews chose God!" Amen! It is time for everyone to stand up for the Jews. As a retired United Methodist Pastor, I choose to stand with Dr. Evans and the Jews and will give this new book to famiy members and friends and urge all readers to considerr doing the same.

This book is a GREAT read and well worth the time to experience all 550 plus pages! From my Perspective: my connection with the Middle East in general and Iran more specifically, relates to my responsibilities for master planning, design and operating a city for 10,000 people North of Esfahan, Iran (the ancient capital of Persia). The entire program was a joint venture between a subsidiary of Bell Helicopter and the government of Iran initiated in 1976 and ending as the Shah left for Egypt in 1979. The purpose of the program was an initiative of the Shah of Iran to promote industrialization, provide technical jobs and training and improve the standard of living for the Iranian people. The development of a commercial, as well as military helicopter industry, was predicated on the establishment of a major Iranian manufacturing facility (with a phased transitioning of the manufacture and assembly responsibilities), a technical training institute (providing necessary technical skills and management training) and a self-sufficient housing community (complete with American standard schools, medical facilities, public works, housing and retail/commercial/recreational facilities). The housing community was to be an incentive for the Iranian people to participate in this project. The community was master planned and designed to embrace and be sensitive to the Iranian culture while providing an improved quality of life. Historical Perspective: this book represents a very concentrated (and recent) historical period - January, 1977 through January, 1981 - and benefited from extensive research and investigation of government (domestic and foreign) documents and data. The breath and depth of interviews, discussions and interactions between Mike Evans and major, as well as minor "players" of the period, lend credibility to the works. The book provides a linkage between ancient cultural/religious foundations and current structural socio/eco/political elements of the period with an alignment to the "potential" ramifications for the future of the Middle East. Educational/Teaching Perspective: a thoroughly researched, factual and chronological reporting of the events of that period. Substantiation of the core précis with names (an informative glossary of names and brief biographical sketches), places and documentation (Chronology of Jimmy Carter's Presidency, Bibliography and Endnotes) are integrated into a cohesive and balanced report. The Shah and SAVAK were "called out" not just Yasser Arafat and Ayatollah Khomeini. This should be a useful and insightful textbook for the classroom which should stand the test of scrutiny. Biographical Perspective: an important introduction to the major "players" participating in the dynamics of the Middle East during this period. The book depicted their multi-faceted, cross-cultural roles: an insight into their individualities as well as their roles, as players, on the international stage. It is important to

Dr. Evans is exceptionally familiar with Middle East problems, and with Jimmy Carter's meddling in them. He nails Carter for the anti-semite and paid foreign agent that he is. Carter has taken huge donations from Middle East Muslims, and has sold out his country. Carter was the worst President of the U.S. in the 20th century, until Bill Clinton came along. Carter ordered the overthrow of the Shah of Iran, who was promptly replaced by a Muslim fanatic. Evans shows how Carter has ruined nearly everything he has touched, particularly in the Middle East. This is a must read book!

Finally, some one unafraid to say it as it is and was. Thank you Mike!

Mike Evans speaks the truth here. The failure of the Carter plan was so obvious during his time and is even more so now. The radical terrorists do not want peace, they want the desruction of Israel and will be satisfied with nothing less. It does not matter how much land they are given it does not appease them but only inflames their goal to wipe Israel of the map and then destroy the "great Satan America". Look at the last years. Have any of the concessions of Israel helped the violence? No, the more they gave concessions the worse they were attacked. Whether people like to admit it or not, when a nation or person supports Israel they are blessed by God and when they do things that hurt Israel, they are under a curse. Mike Evans was not the original one saying this, God himself said it time after time. Thank you Mike Evans for this needed book!
