His point, if I may be so bold as to attempt to speak for him, is that Carter showed grotesque weakness in the face of the first wave of Islamic extremism and allowed the "spawn of Satan" to grown unchecked.I understand his point and agree with it. But that doesn't get us anywhere (except in terms of understanding history). What's important now is not making the same kinds of mistakes. W just made the same kind of mistake. Granting super-rights to terrorists and granting UN authority over US soldiers. In the long run, this could be more damaging than what Carter did. Which is especially painful, given the fact that W is one of the good guys. The best of the good guys, back a few years, but definitely on the skids recently. Trying to placate all the liberals in America.
There's nothing more pathetic, and nothing more futile, than an true American Patriot (which W is) trying to placate the hordes of traitors in the US media. Sad. Bogus and sad.
