Carter was our worst President. Putting the Ayatollah in power in Iran was one of his worst blundrs.

Even as an exPresident, Carter has been a disaster.

Hugo Chavez would have lost the recall election in 2004 if Carter hadn't certified the election for him. He declared Chavez the winner just to be anti-Bush. Even back during the Clinton administration he negotiated on his own authority w/ NK helping clear the way for them getting nukes.

He defied US law by visiting Cuba, even addressing the Cuban public and handing Castro a huge propaganda victory. He oversaw the elections in Haiti, against the expressed wishes of the Clinton administration. A coup followed.

Carter once described Yugoslav strongman Marshal Josef Tito as “a man who believes in human rights.” Regarding North Korea’s dearly departed Kim Il-Sung, Carter found him “vigorous, intelligent, surprisingly well-informed about the technical issues, and in charge of the decisions about this country,” adding “I don’t see that [North Koreans] are an outlaw nation.”
He was similarly generous regarding Manuel Noriega, Romanian dictator Nicolai Ceaucescu and, of course, Yasser Arafat. He said of Ceausescu and himself, “Our goals are the same: to have a just system of economics and politics . . . We believe in enhancing human rights.”

Virtually all of the humanitarian activities of the Carter Foundation abroad have been in direct opposition to US foreign policy.
