Under President Jimmy Carter, Mondale joined in a foreign policy that stressed human rights over anti-Communist ideology. The former Vice President says he is now a "mature internationalist" who would use power as a "last resort" but recognizes, as he put it during last week's debate, that there is still "a proper...
