Right...like when he demanded that the Shah step down in Iran, an action which plunged Iran into the most anti-human-rights area in the world.

Also, how about the rampant inflation and unemployment during jimmy carter's presidency?

What? You want me to defend Carter's Presidency? All I'm saying is that he's in a good position to do some good in the Middle East now.

Or how about him going over to North Korea for clinton in 1994, and helping the idea that North Korea won't develop nuclear weapons if we build them nuclear reactors.

That was actually a better deal long-term for the N. Koreans. I hardly see how the shortsightedness of Kim Jong-il can be blamed on Carter.

Carter want to do good? He may be in a position to do good, but he certainly doesn't want to do good!!!

What? You want me to defend Carter's Presidency? All I'm saying is that he's in a good position to do some good in the Middle East now. How is he in a good position? Just 8 years ago he made a deal which involved trusting NORTH KOREA not to develop nuclear weapons and was completely, horribly incorrect in the use of judgement. That was actually a better deal long-term for the N. Koreans. I hardly see how the shortsightedness of Kim Jong-il can be blamed on Carter. Carter TRUSTED Kim! That's the thing! He has no sense of judgement that is worth any kind of respect. Of course that was a good deal for NK. "Hey guys, they want to build nuclear reactors for us if we promise not to develop nuclear weapons...I know, let's do it behind their backs and save some money!"
