The fact is that just about "all the other countries are going down". Look at what is going on. Peter is not exaggerating.

You make some very good points. The Shah was a totalitarian. I expect your family situation might have been impacted by that. His secret police apparatus was massive and repressive. As for Carter's energy policies, he was the one who stopped uranium reprocessing in the US. That was dumb. He did it because of proliferation fears. A lot of the policies were, as you point out, driven by the Cold War (I miss the Cold War; I got to do a lot of interesting research with unlimited budgets). That was a very different time. It also kept the lid on a number of the issues we are dealing with now.
