Carter has always had a crush on Fidel. He also is incredibly naive, ascribing his own good motives (and I believe they are good even though, as in this case, they often achieve the opposite) to the most odious individuals. As if his wishing it so will make them pure of heart. Instead he accomplishes no good, gives aid and comfort to an enemy, and undermines the President of the United States. Nice Going Jimmy.

I remember when he said, during the depths of the cold war, "Those Russians, they really do lie." Duh. What a revelation!
