Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi could fall any hour, yet Carter has found no course but to continue supporting him, at least publicly. The fall of the Shah, which many now predict, would change the equations of power, from Egypt and Ethiopia all the way east to Pakistan. The helplessness of the U.S. to shape events in Iran is beginning to sap Saudi Arabia's confidence in the ability of the U.S. to protect the region from Soviet penetration, a hazard that...

The lyrics both serve as a warning and a motivation to become involved. As for proof of any sixth sense, that doesn't exist either...
