Thinking further on this religious war, it is wrong to say that it began with Carter -- it is at least 15 centuries of warfare between various elements of the Christians and the Jews and the Muslims
Carter's role was just the omission of a strong offense against the Iranian mullahs when they stepped out of bounds
Now we will see it through to complete secular, free, and democratic governments throughout the world
If not because of 9/11
Then it will be because of the next major terrorist attack
