Not that he was a good guy either, because he and Carter were going to the USSR before Carter was even elected and telling them that they wouldn't oppose them on treaties or in Eastern Europe. Carter then felt betrayed when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan after he told them he wouldn't oppose them anywhere for any reason. After all, he made it plain the USA wouldn't be a threat to them, so they had no reason to act aggressively. And yet the USSR acted aggressively. Carter couldn't understand why.
But Carter wasn't a tool of any kind of power structure. He was really naive and idealistic. He couldn't even deal with Congress because their day-to-day business was too sordid for him. He really did think that by stelling the Soviets America would no longer stand in their way that they would see no need to engage in aggressive foreign policy against American interests.
Carter was wrong about just about everything.
And yes, I know it's you Monastrell. I remember you.
