    Mark,

    Please tell me every one *except* Jimmy Carter. His is the one
    presidency in recent history that I not only admire, but the only
    president who I feel is, as the Indians described Dusenberry, "a Good
    man".

    msh says:
    First, I want to say I use the "every American president would be
    hanged" line to get people's attention. Like Ant, I doubt that all
    of them would have received death sentences, but they'd certainly
    have done some hard time.

    Of the recent presidents, I agree that Carter is by far the least
    objectionable, and generally most moral. However, it is hard to
    imagine that he was unaware of his administration's vast military and
    economic support for Indonesia's genocidal invasion and occupation of
    East Timor.

    To his credit, in the 90's, Carter was openly critical of Indonesia's
    activities in East Timor. Better late than never, I suppose.
