Carter and Bush are leagues apart.
I see no evidence that this is true. Their actions speak for themselves. Carter, as I see it, has been responsible for the deaths of more people so far than Bush has, for the reasons I gave. >Both men will die. At the end of their lives, what have they done?

Yes, in the case of Bush, a few more seem to have lived, but that doesn't make him a good guy. >These sound like tiny improvements, but they are STILL improvements. Oh? And why do the body counts say the opposite? Jimmy Carter's smile and peaceful rhetoric cloak a holy murderer. >You are talking about being realistic in non-choir reception of >rhetoric... well, apply your own standards.
