Fuck You, Then

"...as president, [I] greatly strengthened our military forces and protected our nation and its interests in every way. I don’t believe this warrants your referring to me as a pacificist." -- Jimmy Carter, in a private letter to Zell Miller

God forbid any Democrat should allow himself to be labeled a pacifist!

Interesting he should claim to have "protected" "our nation and its interests". According to Carter's National Security Advisor, Zbiggy Brzezinski, it was Carter that initiated the recruitment and funding of what would become the Afghan mujahideen; in order, says Brzezinski, to draw the Soviets into Afghanistan.

Not that Reagan wasn't enthusiastically onboard as well. But Carter bears plenty of responsibility for not only the destruction of Afghanistan (not to mention Central America, East Timor, and Palestine), but also for the terrorist "blowback" perpetrated by the Frankenstein's Monster of "stirred up Moslems" he helped to create.
