Jimmy Carter - the gift that just won't stop giving...
As president, Jimmy Carter presided over the most virulent roll back of democratic and/or US friendly governments seen since the end of WWII. Much of the cause of current problems in the Mid-East can be linked directly back to his disasterous niavete (all right, I am trying to be generous) in foriegn affairs.The problems were even worse in our own hemisphere, with Nicaragua, Cuba, Argentine, and other South and Central American countries falling from the US into the Socialist/Communist sphere of influence.
His economic policies drove the US into 'stagflation' with double digit inflation/interest rates and record unemployment. The 'feedback' from the Great North into the Latin countries, with their smaller/weaker economies engendered inflation the likes of which had not been seen since Germany prior to WWII, further destabilizing the region.
He is, I believe, what John Kerry would have been as it regards US policy - he just wants us to be liked, and is willing to sell out anyone and our own interests to achieve this vision. After almost three decades out of offie, his vision of the US as wrong, and the left/socialism as something desirable is more apparent than ever.
Well, he isn't done yet...
It may have passed below most people's radar due to our presidential elections, but he was instrumental in validating the last election in Venezuela. The election placed a rabid anit-US communist/socialist as the head of the country that provides most of our own oil supply. His rhetoric and actions have threatned our one stalwart ally in the region Columbia. His main allies are Cuba and Communist China, both who have vested interests in honing and eventually applying the economic threat he represents against the US.
In the election, Carter pronounced it a good election and validated its results. This despite the fact that the UN, of all bodies, found so many problems that they would not certifiy the election. The US State Department followed suit, refusing to recognize or validate Carter's finding, dealing a significant (hopefully fatal) blow to the Carter's line of business - promoting socialism by validating fraudulent elections.
However, in Venezuela's case, the damage was already done. Chavez has been a busy man since, passing laws to aurthorize the arrest of anyone who express disagreement with or doubt of the rightness of his cause (John Kerry and the Dems must be so envious). He has now taken the next logical step, based on his own rhetoric, and the desires' of his political 'masters' China and Cuba. He is calling for the creation of an Anti-US, joint Military force and command to beat back the growth of democracy in South America. It would be armed with weapons purchased from Iran and China. Since Iran is a net importer of arms, one wonders just what type of weapons that he might be seeking to purchase from them? Nukes for sale??
Any one remember Danial Ortega, the genocidal 'commander' of the Sandinistas that Carter was so fond of. It turns out he is a major beneficiary of Chavez's petro wealth (funded by our oil demand) and is enthusiastically supporting the idea.
This is a dagger aimed at our heart, and is the key piece in the endgame that I believe China is playing against the US.
