Didn’t Carter hand Iran to the mullahs by refusing to back the Shah of Iran?
That alone led to many of the problems we have today. For that reason and many others I wouldn’t piss on Carter’s mouth if his gums were on fire.

He sure did. But I attribute that to naivety. Contrast that with George W. Bush, who upset the whole apple cart in the Mideast by his bloody and unnecessary invasion of Iraq. Carter didn’t know what he was doing. But Bush knew exactly what he was doing. He lied to the American people, and he got thousands of good Americans killed or maimed.
I am proud to say that I voted against Carter. I am ashamed to say I voted for W. He was ten times worse.
