This is what happens when you run foreign policy like it's a Baptist Sunday School. (No offense to Baptists.)

[Captain Shady]

Carter should have stuck to peanut-growing and house-building.

As opposed to Catholic Sunday School?

[Gordian Blade]

Just because the press made a big deal of Carter teaching Sunday School at his Baptist Church.

He(Jimmy Carter) also sold our Air Defenses down the river, Courtesy of TAC!!!!

SO true, and I would like to see this format of your story into a documentary on TV for the idiots who just dont get it.

[Captain Shady]

True .My Sunday school teacher however is a little right of Reagan.

[RLK]

This is true. Carter, of course, was a complete idiot.

The Shah, was accused of being an authoritarian rigime. In reality, he was put in an impossible situation. There were constant internal civil wars between Islamic religious factions. The turbulence was supported by the communists from outside. To step between the factions in order to keep them from killing each other was to incur the wrath of both factions after which they would attempt to kill the Shah in an attempt to get to each other and kill each other. The Shah had little choice but to keep clubbing heads in order to keep organizations from killing him and each other. This was eagerly interpreted as oppression by the radical left, including Carter.

My view of the middle East is still the same after 30 years. If someone were to make me Shah, King, Premier, or whatever, I'd stick around just long enough to pocket a few million dollars, leave to a quiet house on the New England seashore, then tell may former subjects they were on their own and free to kill each other. That the Shah stuck it out as long as he did was an enormous sacrifice and a miracle that should have earned him understanding and respect.

Old, old news.

We can thank Jimmy Carter for three (3) foreign policy disasters:

1) The Iranian Revolution.

2) The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan (indirectly).

3) The communist takeover of Nicaragua.

We are still paying the price for the first two, and there may be others.

Hey we can always boycott the olympics!!!!!

Khomeini

If still remember when Carter kicked the Shah out of the U.S. while he getting cancer treatments. At about that time CBS on 60 minutes did glowing report on Khomenini. Khomenini was in Paris and CBS played him as a gentle loving devout Muslim deeply interested in the welfare of the people of Iran. The viewer was intended to draw the conclusion that Iran been so badly repressed by the Shah and it would have a new rebirth of freedom under Khomeini.

Think how stupid the major media must be if an idiot like Ted Turner could make major inroads on their audience.

[lazysob]

How about 1000's of farmers loosing there farms because of his wheat embargo on the Soviet Union.

[Pushi]

There were four. The fourth was giving up the Panama Canal.

[alisasny]

If Carter did all this damage in 4 years......

[Verginius Rufus]

Another one of Jimmy Carter's "gifts that keep on giving" is Mary Frances Berry as member of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission.

[OldFriend]

Carter tried to stab America in the back too......calling his arab friends and suggesting they not join President Bush's coalition to fight the Gulf War. He acknowledged making those requests but never explained in the name of what!!!!!!!!!!! Most of the slime that joined the clinton administration came from the Carter leftovers he buried in the State Department when he left.
