Jimmy did well in the navy, being in charge of the clean up of a
Canadian nuclear reactor meltdown, a significant event most have long forgotten. His presidency was a complete failure, but arguably one secondary to his naiveté and incompetence in contrast to the actual malice shown Obama in replace him as the low standard for Presidents. His much lauded, by liberal media, election monitoring lived down to his Presidential naiveté and incompetence. His true post-presidential good works have been his efforts against several neglected tropical diseases. I'd hoped he'd live long enough to seen the final eradication of a
dracunculosis , the grossest and now rarest of his targets. He'd gotten the world incidence of human cases under twenty (pre-Carter it was 3.5M/year) when it was discovered in 2012 the adult worm could affect more than human hosts. Animal cases, mainly canine, have spiked the total cases to about 2k/year, mostly within Chad. The Carter Foundation has thrown many more resources there, but I doubt they'll get the job finished before he passes.
I’m having a hard time reading your post; but I gather that you are suggesting that there was ‘good and bad’ in Carter, as there are in all of us.
History books can write the criticisms. When an old man is dying, I think it’s correct to simply contemplate the human condition, in which we are all full of goodness and full of evil.
We all have to die, and only God knows what was truly in our hearts during our sojourn here, and what exigencies we had to maneuver in order to express our ideals.
