Carter's Weakness

This article is right on-point. The most inept (and I voted for him) President let this country down the road to international terrorism. I fully blame Jimmy Carter for his foolish and naive approach to foreign policy- from the Soviet Union to Iran. We were attacked and did not respond. The radical Islamic world does not understand or comprehend compromise or the Christian concept of turning the other cheek. They only understand when you fight back. As Churchill said in 1922 (the year is right)- the Arabs have no sense of negotiation and merely reiterate their position over and over with no idea how to give and take.
