Up, that is? Screw up?

Outside of the Camp David Accords, which I’ll leave in the “good” column, what has that man done right?

• Failed to deal with the Iranian radicals in the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Bad
• The Energy Crisis. Bad
• That oh-so successful deal with North Korea “agreeing” to shut down their quest for a nuke. Bad
• Ratifying Hugo Chaves’ election. Bad
• Nobel Peace Prize. Was there anyone other than Yasir Arafat more deserving? Bad
• His anti-Israel revisionist book, “Peace, not Apartheid.” Bad
• In the buildup to the Gulf War, Carter wrote letters of opposition to UN Security Council members. Bad
• Praise for dictators and strong-men of every flavor: Chavez, Castro, Tito, Assad, Cedras, Mengistu, Ceausescu, Arafat, Hussein, Sung, Ortega. Carter never met a dictator he didn’t like. Bad

Pretty bad list, there Jimmuh. Add one more to it. Carter appears to have been key in starting the land-grab in Zimbabwe that Mugabe’s used to completely wreck the nation.

The “best former President” has been busy, eh?
