Jimmy Carter destroyed any trust we would ever have again in the middle east, and after he let the Religous finatics storm our Embassy and take our people hostage with absolutely no response from Carter, we were a laughing stock and the finatics understood that through terrorism they would have the media and the worlds attention. If Carter would have responded as he should have, we would of never suffered through 9/11, and by his in-action he gave birth to terroism.
