Totally ridiculous. Carter was a grotesque failure as President. Just as you are at history. >>Jimmy Carter was the main driving force behind the Helsinki Accords. These accords have been a major pillar of American foreign policy used by every president since Carter including Ronald Reagan when he wasn't falling asleep in policy meetings. The accords are the first recognition of human rights as a basis of American relationships world wide. What a maroon. You have no idea what you are talking about. The Helsinki Accords were negotiated by Republicans and signed by Gerald Ford one year and half before Carter even disgraced the Oval Office. >>Carter was also rightly credited as the major factor in getting Egypt and Isreal to agree to a peace treaty. Both sides credited him as working a miracle. Another joke. Carter bribed two nations with US cash not to make war on each other - some miracle. We're still paying for it and it comprises most of the foreign aid budget. Carter was a disaster in both foreign and domestic policy. Maybe if Carter had slept more and didn't spend so much time scheduling the tennis courts he wouldn't have been the celebrated failure that is his renown. Even so, it took Afghanistan to wake him up after years of sleep. The US was at its nadir under Carter. Recall that President Reagan inherited an economy characterized by a 13 percent annual inflation rate (two years in a row), rising unemployment, interest rates higher than 20 percent, a top tax rate of 70 percent applicable to so-called unearned income, annual, unlegislated, bracket-creep-induced tax increases affecting every wage earner, a currency under attack around the globe, a free fall in U.S. industrial competitiveness -- all the product of a thoroughly discredited Carter policy more adept at generating stagflation than non-inflationary growth. Carter is and shall remain a small footnote in the rise of the great world world leader and last lion of the 20th Century, Ronald Wilson Reagan.
