Evaluating Jimmy Carter, his Beliefs, and his Disastrous Foreign Policy Legacy

The passing away of president Jimmy Carter has led many to consider his “presidential legacy.” Joe Biden claimed that president Carter was a “Role Model!’ Others have declared that Jimmy Carter was: “a Champion of peace, human rights and justice!”
