I do remember Carter as President (in fact it doesn't seem
that long ago). Whose puppet was he?

What I recall of President Carter's political maneuvering is
that he consistently tried to do what would be best in the
long run, ........

I agree with that statement. I don't remember if it was Powell or
Schwartztcoph who when asked about who was mostly responsible for the
effectiveness of the weapon systems during Desert Storm said that
Jimmy Carter hated war so much he wanted them, when necessary, to be
quick with minimal loss of life. So he approved and proposed many of
the smart weapon systems research projects.

While I don't always agree with his positions today, I do admire him
as the most active and involved ex president ever.
