Carter has been lionised as the perfect president, but his hands are from clean.

On the positive side, this shows that Obama and Clinton (and possibly Edwards) are going to be carrying on in this fine tradition of realpolitk and expediency without bothering their telegenic heads about mere morality.

Zbigniew is on the Obama team now, of course.

Still, Carter is the only President who didn't fight a war of his own. As close to perfect as it gets in the US, I'm afraid.
