out that he worked for both and will
pursue this in the future.

Van Eyck, Jan.
Vance, Cyrus.
- Secretary of State under President James
"Jimmy" Carter.
- Cyrus Vance was a man quick to appease
and slow to react. He seemed so weak in
response to the spread of Soviet
aggression that I always saw him as the
American version of Neville Chamberlain.
Vance was almost painfully shy. Vance was
completely unsuited to work with Carter.
Carter was so inherently weak that with a
weak secretary our government had serious
setbacks.
- Vance accidentally invited the Russians
to invade Afghanistan. Prior to the
invasion of Afghanistan Russia
unofficially asked what our reaction
would be to the invasion. Vance had
Hodding Carter deliver a stern warning
not to invade. The Russians assumed since
the warning came from an aide Vance was
really signaling them we would not
seriously object to an invasion. So to a
great extent Vance's shyness was the
cause of the Afghan war.
- Cyrus Vance recommended Alexander Haig
for sec of State. Rubin,
Barry Secrets of State. Page 204.
- In July 1993 Sandinistas came to power in
Nicaragua overthrowing the Somoza
Government. Cyrus Vance took the stance
that we needed to work with the
Sandinistas so that while they stayed
leftwing they might maintain a nonaligned
stance. Rubin,
Barry Secrets of State. Page 218.
- Cyrus Vance was Deputy Secretary of
Defense under Robert McNamara and his
closest advisor. He resigned in 1967 due
to serious back problems. Paul Nitze
replaced Vance. Hoopes.
The
Limits of Intervention. Page 52.
- By the end of his time in office Carter
thought Cyrus Vance was too passive and
that Brzezinski was innovative. Rubin,
Barry Secrets of State. Page 173.
- Brzezinski thought Vance suffered from
Vietnam Syndrome. Rubin,
Barry Secrets of State. Page 174.
- It was the crushing defeat of US Foreign
Policy in Iran and Afghanistan that
shifted Carter from Cyrus Vance to
Brzezinski. Rubin,
Barry Secrets of State. Page 175.
- Warren Christopher was so boring that he
made Vance look flamboyant. Rubin,
Barry Secrets of State. Page 176.
Vanishing Jewels
Vase Carpet
- Vase Carpets are a Persian Carpet
defined by a particular
structure. The weave uses wool warps and
the wefts are two rigid wool singles,
then sinuous silk or cotton singles and
then two rigid wool singles. Vase carpets
are generally attributed to Kerman because
of similar construction in 19th century
Kermani carpets. Recent evidence and a
review of the older evidence shows that
Kerman is unlikely and the probable place
of origin for the vase carpets is
Khorasan Province in both Mashad and
Sabzevar in the sixteenth century. The
carpets most likely originated in the
workshops of Ibrahim Mirza.
