		<description><![CDATA[A lot of us on both sides of the aisle were for supporting the mujahideen, since we had a mutual enemy. 

If the Soviets had soundly whipped the muj maybe we would be talking about the communist threat still from Russia and not Islam.  Expanding empires do not have the same need to balance the budget. They take.  In the long term they have to balance the budget but in the short term they can square accounts through seizure.

We might ask if Carter could have got a better deal with the Pakistanis. As it was they said they wanted to control access to the muj.  if we had direct access and more access we could have shaped which faction came out on top instead of Pakistan. 

That said I think Jimmy Cater was a very bad president.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I read an interview Carter gave on PBS.org. on 3/26/14 (I listed it below).

Wha?  Was I living on planet earth when this happened?  It is amazing how tough he is. (sarcasm, unfortunately) Was he tougher than we all thought? 
My, oh my...

JUDY WOODRUFF: What if he does though go into another country, what should happen there?

JIMMY CARTER: Well, I don’t want to tell people what to do who are in office now, know more than I do about it, but I remember what happened when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in — Christmas Day, 1979.

JUDY WOODRUFF: When you were president.

JIMMY CARTER: Yes.

Well, I was very forceful, because I saw the danger of them going further. And that’s similar to what it is now. And I sent Brezhnev a direct message that if you go any further, we will take military action, and we will not exclude any weapons that we have. And I almost broke diplomatic relations. Through my ambassador, I declared an embargo against him.

And I began to arm the freedom fighters in Afghanistan who were repelling the Soviet troops. So, I took a lot of bold and very aggressive actions, some of which I think would be excessive now.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Excessive? So…

JIMMY CARTER: I think so.

JUDY WOODRUFF: … shouldn’t — should not happen today?

JIMMY CARTER: Well, I think we — it is perfectly legitimate, in fact, I think it would justified to arm the Ukrainian military effectively and let everybody know that they’re being armed, yes.]]></description>
