Actually, Jimmy Carter started arming the Mujahideen; but your point is well taken. If only Jimmy had been a history major instead of a rocket scientist, he might have realized that the Russians had painted themselves into a corner in Afghanistan. Without the Blob's intervention, the USSR would have self-destructed years before it finally did.
Hi Charles, good to hear from you. Jimmy Carter was the first president I voted for. He was a mediocre president who was too militarized after his stint as a nuclear sub commander. He got caught up with the Iran hostage and OPEC oil price gouging, so he was pretty much screwed no matter what he did. However, he was the only president in my lifetime who actually tried to do some good after he left the service of The Blob.
Still, I think the major point is that tax payer's money is being squandered during insane campaigns to micromanage the world, and it only makes things worse. The only conclusion is that they really want to make things worse in other countries, so for The Blob, it's Mission Accomplished.
