The last great president. Man with integrity. Brought peace- that lasts through to this day. To the border between egypt/israel. Maybe youre too young to remember when the Sinai desert was a similar war zone to what Gaza strip has become in this era. The 1979 peace accord ended a 3 decade long war of terrorism & attrition. Ya know who truly believes Carter was a great president? Egyptians. And- the Carter Admin was the 1st to try and wage a battle against the corruption wrought by lobbyists. As well, the 1st to successfully stall the republicans attempt to gain passage of Nafta. Nafta was stalled by the democrats in congress until the last days of reagan. Finally gained passage after Clinton was elected and the republicans gained control of both congressional houses. Its funny/ ironic/ sad. Clinton is blamed for nafta. It was Newt Gingrich that whipped the vote for the passage if Nafta. Paste From wiki- The impetus for a North American free trade zone began with U.S. president Ronald Reagan, who made the idea part of his campaign when he announced his candidacy for the presidency in November 1979.[13] Canada and the United States signed the Canada–United States Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in 1988, and shortly afterward Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari decided to approach U.S. president George H. W. Bush to propose a similar agreement in an effort to bring in foreign investment following the Latin American debt crisis.[13] As the two leaders began negotiating, the Canadian government under Prime Minister Brian Mulroney feared that the advantages Canada had gained through the Canada–US FTA would be undermined by a US–Mexican bilateral agreement, and asked to become a party to the US–Mexican talks.[14] |
