Carter had his issues but he was and intelligent and thoughtful person that was ultimately screwed over.
So he didn't help the genocidal maniacs of El Salvador? (Reagan did too)
I don't understand why anyone is ever charitable with politicians in terms of their morals. They volunteer for the job, it is extremely well compensated financially and in lifelong privileges for high offices, and yet when they display principles beforehand and then don't act on them it isn't their fault?
Sure it may not 100% be their fault but it isn't like many have the guts to resign, or fire the people under them making bad decisions, or anything of consequence.
