So, what must be done?

Quoting vineyards:

Carter was in office in the cold war era. He was first known as the peanut king. As far as I remember he has a farming background. He adopted a peaceful approach but became a victim of the circumstances instead when the other pole (Soviet Union) wanted to take advantage of his passivism. A series of hardliners were in power than and the President's consultants were in favour of responding to stern policies with stern policies. On the whole, he cannot be compared to the Bushes or Clinton. Interestingly, Carter was succeeded by a series of hardliners whereas in Russia a serious of more moderate leaders were in office.

Quoting libralady:

maybe one of the only ones that did not have a history either, or affairs etc!

Quoting aenigma x:

For the record, Carter's administration brought the U.S. some of its worst economic conditions in living memory - with soaring interest and inflation rates.

His human rights policy led to disaster in Nicaragua and Iran. If the U.S. had supported the Shah or his successors, the history of the past 25 years in the Middle East would have been very different, and the Iranian people would have fared much better. Carter's weakness in dealing with the Soviet Union gave them confidence to move further into the Third World. By letting the Soviets know he would not respond if they invaded Afghanistan, Carter spawned a war that ultimately saw one million dead Afghans, five million displaced, and a situation of evil that nurtured the Islamic hatred and militancy that ultimately turned on the West and brought about 9/11.

Great president?
Personally I would rather see a good president in control with a dubious personal life!
