I do believe it was the good old US of A. Pitty that even with all our technology and money we can't see the future. I suppose no one else has ever goofed either. Of course we could have just gone on a Jag of massive imperialism and taken the territory for our own. 
I think you are wrong with the one thing though, about destabilization of post revolutionary Iran. What the goal was, was to stabilize the middle east, so as to not interrupt a vital natural resource to our markets....and to all of europe too.
Jimmy Carter was/is a very religious man, he actually believes in the principles of christianity and was trying to apply them to the middle east when he "CAUSED" the revolution in Iran by denying aid to the Shaw over the principle of human rights and how he treated his people. No one planned for Saddam to be a madman who would use chemical and biological agents against others. And while we are on this topic...How come the UN, Europe and Asia didn't bother to do anything about his use of these illegal weapons of mass destruction against Iran?
