#2 Way to go, Jimmy. Your Iranian fiasco will compete with Kennedy & Johnson's Vietnam fiasco and Clinton's North Korean fiasco for greatest U.S blunder since WWII. I hope we never have another Democratic Party president again. If Betty Crocker Clinton wins in 2008, this nation is down the toilet.

#3 If I may quote from the Book of Lileks:

I can imagine in late 2001 asking a question of myself in 2005:

Whatâs the main story? The smallpox quarantine? Fallout from the Iranian â Israeli exchange contaminating Indian crops? A series of bombings in heartland malls?

"Well, no â the big story today has to do with soldiers mishandling terrorists' holy texts at a detention center."

Mishandling? How? Like, you mean, they opened it up without first checking to see if it was ticking, and it blew up â

"No, they handled it in a way that disrespected it. Infidels are supposed to use gloves."

Oh. So we lost, then.

#6 Y'know, I think the bigger problem wasn't Jimmah's human rights focus (unevenly applied, but one of the few semi-admirable things he did) but the fact he was such a craven wuss when the embassy was taken over. And when Afghanistan was invaded, he bravely....boycotted the summer Olympics.

We've been paying for that sheer cowardice ever since.

#7 DB's right. Carter created the perception America was impotent.
