Reading about the Entebbe raid makes me wonder what impact it would have had on the course of US history if Carter's attempt to rescue the Iranian hostages had been equally successful. Would Carter have won re-election? Would Reagan have ever been president? Carter still had the economic malaise to overcome, but the lingering hostage crisis really pulverized his image.
