I'd bet that the death of the Shah and the 1981 Algiers Accords were more important than Reagan.

If you want a good take on the whole Iranian hostage crisis, read Mark Bowden's book Guests of the Ayatollah.  It will give you an idea of how impotent Carter was as a president when faced with a very serious foreign policy incident.

Don't let facts get in the way of the ranting now.

Always makes me laugh when people ostensibly on the political right rag on Carter when many of the current middle-east policies they're typically so keen to defend originated with his administration, as well as certain actions for which Reagan is often given full credit.

Doesn't suprise me in the least.  Just look at the ignorance of the history of their own ideological movement every time discussion of the term "neoconservative" comes up.  It'd be funny, if they didn't vote.

I voted for Carter, the first time. Fool me once... well, you won't fool me again.

The ironic thing is you actually believe your opinion has a shred of credibility....

one could arguably claim that the seeds for the unprecedented attacks by islamofacist homicide bombers on American soil were sown during the carter administration and subsequently watered and tended to by the clinton administration.  anything mr carter has to say about any topics other than building houses for the "underprivildged" (as if there is such a thing) could be dismissed out of hand.

Carter is not a tool, he is a one term moron that lost to an actor in a landslide.

Carter was a lousy president.  Unless you compare him to Chimpler.
