Will always be faulted for forces well beyond his control.

He is on the bottom of this list, and that's exactly where he belongs.

No way! Carter was way too much of a diplomat. It is his fault for what happened in Iran in the late 70's when the radicals took over. Thus, our reasons for having to build Iraq up to defend against Iran.

The biggest crisis faced by President Carter was the Iran Hostage Crisis. In November 1979, radical Iranian students seized American diplomats and embassy employees in Teheran. For more than a year negotiations were at a stalemate and an airborne rescueission failed. The hostages were finally released on January 20, 1981, the day of Ronald Reagan's Presidential Inauguration. While the Iranian Hostage Crisis was indeed a difficult situation for any man to deal with. However, it could have easily been avoided, had security been provided for the diplomats in the first place. Carter knew fully well that Iran was an unstable region, and that the safety of Americans was not guarenteed there. His failure to prevent the situation, not to deal with it, is why he deserves this rating.
