”I did not say that "Carter was a very good president". I said that he helped the opposition in Eastern Europe to develop and that he helped to prepare the peaceful dissolution of the Soviet system in following decades. I know what I am talking about.”

hog wash!

carter was seen by the Soviets as a weak pathetic little man and the Soviets walked all over him.
Carter signed the Helsinki accords, essentially ceding permanent control of eastern Europe to the Soviets in exchange for, what, further controls on our military. The Soviets jumped at it because weak-minded Carter was all so willing to tell them who the “dissidents” or ‘trouble makers’ in Czechoslovakia where and in other Eastern block countries.

With the fall of the Shah the ‘troubled arc’ was seen as free land, if it wasn’t for Reagan the Soviets would of taken what they called the ‘troubled arc’ from Pakistan to South Africa. Nicaragua was given to the Soviets when Carter cut them off, destabilizing all of central America..

There has been a rule on FR not to call Rush names. You can debate what he says but no name-calling.
