Of course, they will point to Iran and the embassy hostages. Saying we should have dropped bombs. Dropped bombs on who? The innocent people who live there? To start even more chaos?
Created the Department of Energy. Too bad his policies weren't pursued. We would never have become so dependent on ME oil and gas mileage standards are still followed today.
Created the Department of Education. Remember when it was part of the Department. of Health, Education and Welfare? Separating it actually streamlined government.
Supported SALT II (Strategic Arms Limitations Talks). Congress refused to sign it, but it was an important first step.
Brokered the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty. Too bad it didn't last. But he tried harder than any other president.
Installed solar panels in the White House. Visionary.
Granted amnesty to Vietnam draft-dodgers. This helped the country get over the damage caused by that terrible conflict and helped bring the country together.
Established diplomatic relations with China. Remember when everyone was so afraid of China?
Pushed for comprehensive health care reform. Something Republicans would never do. Their policy really is "health care for the rich and for others - die quickly".
Returned the Panama Canal to Panama. Panama is a sovereign country. Republicans are empire builders. Look at what they tried to do in Iraq. The canal wasn't ours and Iraqi oil wasn't ours. And, the world didn't fall apart when we got out of Panama.
Republicans look at Nixon, Reagan, Bush and Bush and see "heroes". The rest of the world see criminals and disasterous fiascoes. Because so few American died under Carter and America wasn't involved in any wars, Republicans see Carter as "weak". Too bad we don't have more of that "weak". Tired of Americans dying from GOP ignorance about the rest of the world.
