Column: Jimmy Carter was no failure. He was no saint, either

The article from MSN discusses the complex legacy of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, arguing that historical assessments of his presidency have been both overly critical and overly laudatory. It points out that while Carter is often remembered for his post-presidential humanitarian work, which has earned him widespread respect, his time in office is frequently criticized for economic struggles like stagflation, the Iran hostage crisis, and perceived foreign policy failures. However, the piece suggests that Carter's presidency had significant achievements, such as the Camp David Accords, which facilitated peace between Egypt and Israel, and his efforts in deregulation and environmental policy. The author contends that Carter's presidency was more nuanced than commonly portrayed, with both notable successes and failures, and that his moral integrity and commitment to human rights have often been overshadowed by the more immediate political and economic challenges of his era.
