Assuming Washington opts eventually for the latter course, that still leaves the moral dilemma. Jimmy Carter's human rights policy was an attempt to come to grips with this problem. But Carter's rights framework, laudable as it was from a moral perspective, may have shunted political concerns too far aside to be practicable. with drawing all aid from the Salvadoran government--i.e. acting on the human rights ultimatum--would likely lead to the collapse of the present government. Then either the extreme Left would take over or outright anarchy would ensure: neither scenario is in the interests...
...YEARS AGO, Jimmy Carter and the Democrats cringed as Ronald Reagan, smiling benignly into the living rooms of millions of Americans, asked. "Are you better off now than you were four years ago? Is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was four years ago? Is there more or less unemployment than there was four years ago?" Carter himself had used a similar tactic in the 1976 campaign, sympathizing with the American people over the "disgraceful" level of the Misery Index.

Jimmy Carter, himself an amateur evangelist, had his worst days when he put his faith (and our future) in his goodness instead of the Sixth Fleet. But even he never mixed God and Government as baldly as Reagan did in Orlando...
...pharaonic frieze at Luxor. Except, of course, that typical tourists do not have the Nile searched for explosives beforehand; neither do they lunch with Jehan Sadat, widow of Anwar, nor get together with President Hosni Mubarak. Visiting Egypt on a swing through the Middle East, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter were reminded often of the 1978 Camp David accords. Strolling through a Cairo bazaar, he was greeted with shouts of "Welcome, Mr. Peace Man!" Mused Carter: "I could do very well in an election in Egypt." But not necessarily everywhere else: as the Carters toured Jerusalem later in the week, more...
