Alexander Solzhenitsyn, listening to the hosannas sung by the Peace
Movement as we watched our abandoned allies be marched into slavery,
oppression and poverty remarked, "Its the kind of peace I wouldnt wish
on my worst enemy." The Vietnamese, Cambodians and Laotians paid and
are still paying a heavy price for their trust in us. We paid by coming
very close to total defeat in the Cold War, lead by an idiot who
announced that he had overcome his inordinate fear of communism. Jimmy
Carter was a proud member of the Peace Movement, happy at the way
things had turned out when the Communists threw the Paris Peace
Agreement in the trash and invaded South Vietnam. When the same
communists launched an offensive that caused bloodbaths and mass murder
in Ethiopia,Mozambique, Angola, Guinea, Equatorial Guinea and Benin his
Secretary of State described it as a "stabilizing influence in Africa".
He helped replace a mild dictatorship in Nicaragua with a far more
brutal communist dictatorship allied with Fidel Castro. He encouraged
and supported the uprising which placed the Ayatollah Khomeini in power
in Iran, an action that led to millions of deaths and the destruction
of the culture and economy of that country. He took no effective steps
to oppose the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The Democrats revere
Jimmy Carter and would emulate his arrant stupidity if the voters,
eager for free handouts and tired of hard-to- understand foreign
crises, decide to walk the bloody path to Peace At Any Price and elect
Mrs. Clinton.
