While I respect your family's service and suffering, I don't see what that has to do with our peanut farmer. If you think he has done a single thing to promote world peace, think again.
He managed not only to get the Shah of Iran deposed and a murdering Islamicist dictator installed in his place, he made promises of support and protection to most of the Shah's cabinet and military officers and then broke that promise. The Ayatollah executed them all. Then he did nothing to protect our embassy personnel and they were all kidnapped & held hostage for an unconscionable period. He made only one poorly organized, inept, botched effort to rescue them that wasted American military lives & materiel. And that's just ONE example.
On the domestic front, his weak and muddling economic policy resulted in simultaneous inflation and recession (two for one!) and gasoline shortages worse than WWII rationing. I personally "babysat" our car in gas lines for hours, waiting to get enough fuel in the tank (five gallon limit) for my husband (then my fiance) to get to the train station to get to work. Some president!
He did not suddenly and miraculously change when he got out of office. He talks a good game, but his supposed "human rights work" mostly consists of meddling and self-aggrandizement, working directly against the interests of America both in foreign policy and in using foreign aid and influence to campaign against policies to which he was opposed. He has been cynically used by almost everyone involved in the Middle East, and he's too naive to realize it.
When that loon on the Nobel committee stated outright that the award of the prize to Carter was intended to "send a message" to Bush, Carter should have declined the prize because it was being used for an invidious purpose. But he loves money and notoriety too well to do any such principled thing.
You shouldn't support him or assume he's a "good guy" just because he happens to support some of the causes YOU support . . . at the moment. If it pays him to change his tune, he will do so, and then where will you be?
He is an embarassment.
