'''James Earl "Jimmy" Carter Jr.''' (born October 1, 1924) was the thirty-ninth [[President of the United States]], serving from 1977 to 1981, and the recipient of the 2002 [[Nobel Peace Prize]]. Prior to becoming president, Carter served two terms in the [[Georgia Senate]] and as the 76th [[List of Governors of Georgia|Governor of Georgia]], from 1971 to 1975.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |url=http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/nge/Article.jsp?id=h-676 |title=Jimmy Carter | encyclopedia=New Georgia Encyclopedia |publisher=Georgia Humanities Council |accessdate=2007-12-09}}</ref>

As president, Carter created two new cabinet-level departments: the [[United States Department of Energy|Department of Energy]] and the [[United States Department of Education|Department of Education]]. He established a [[Energy policy of the United States|national energy policy]] that included conservation, price decontrol, and new technology. Foreign oil imports were reduced by 50% from 1977 to 1982.<ref> Jay Hakes, ''A Declaration of Energy Independence: How Freedom from Foreign Oil Can Improve National Security, Our Economy, and the Environment,'' Hoboken, New Jersey, 2008, pp. 41-70 </ref> In foreign affairs, Carter pursued the [[Camp David Accords]], the [[Panama Canal Treaties]] and the second round of [[Strategic Arms Limitation Talks]] (SALT). Carter sought to put a stronger emphasis on [[human rights]]; he negotiated a peace treaty between [[Israel]] and [[Egypt]] in 1979. His return of the [[Panama Canal Zone]] to [[Panama]] was seen as a major concession of U.S. influence in Latin America, and Carter came under heavy criticism for it. The final year of his presidential tenure was marked by several major crises, including the 1979 takeover of the American embassy in [[Iran]] and [[Iran hostage crisis|holding of hostages]] by Iranian students, a failed [[Operation Eagle Claw|rescue attempt]] of the hostages, [[1979 energy crisis|serious fuel shortages]], and the [[Soviet war in Afghanistan|Soviet invasion of Afghanistan]]. By 1980, Carter's disapproval ratings were significantly higher than his approval, and he was challenged by [[Ted Kennedy]] for the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]] nomination in the [[United States presidential election, 1980|1980 election]]. Carter defeated Kennedy for the nomination, but lost the election to [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] [[Ronald Reagan]].

After leaving office, Carter and his wife [[Rosalynn Carter|Rosalynn]] founded [[The Carter Center]], a nongovernmental, [[not-for-profit organization]] that works to advance [[human rights]].

He is also a key figure in the [[Habitat for Humanity]] project.<ref>[http://www.habitat.org/how/carter.aspx Jimmy Carter and Habitat for Humanity - Habitat for Humanity Int'l<!--Bot-generated title-->]</ref> Carter also remains particularly vocal on the [[Israeli-Palestinian conflict]]. As of 2008, Carter is the second-oldest living former president, three months and 19 days younger than [[George H. W. Bush]].

He applied for the [[United States Navy|U.S. Navy's]] fledgling [[nuclear submarine]] program run by then Captain [[Hyman G. Rickover]]. Rickover's demands on his men and machines were legendary, and Carter later said that, next to his parents, Rickover had the greatest influence on him.

Carter has said that he loved the Navy, and had planned to make it his career. His ultimate goal was to become [[Chief of Naval Operations]]. Carter felt the best route for promotion was with submarine duty since he felt that nuclear power would be increasingly used in submarines. After six years of military service, Carter trained for the position of engineer officer in submarine Seawolf, then under construction.<ref>[http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/presidents/video/carter_03.html#v278 PBS's American Experience Jimmy Carter]</ref> During service on the diesel-electric submarine, [[USS Pomfret (SS-391)|USS ''Pomfret'']], Carter was almost washed overboard.<ref>{{cite book |last=Hayward |first=Steven F. |title=The Real Jimmy Carter: How Our Worst Ex-President Undermines American |location=Washington, DC |publisher=Regnery Publishing |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=UEGPFXrScoIC&pg=PA20&lpg=PA20&dq=jimmy+carter+submarine+overboard&source=web&ots=9n-MWEDXCU&sig=pzsKSE1nPr_8Hl4HRY5ZxvGgPg8|year=2004 |isbn=0895260905}}</ref> Carter completed a non-credit introductory course in nuclear reactor power at [[Union College]] starting in March 1953.

His 1962 election to the state Senate, which followed the end of Georgia's [[County Unit System]] (per the [[Supreme Court of the United States|Supreme Court]] case of ''[[Gray v. Sanders]]''), was chronicled in his book ''Turning Point: A Candidate, a State, and a Nation Come of Age''. The election involved corruption led by Joe Hurst, the sheriff of [[Quitman County, Georgia|Quitman County]]; system abuses included votes from deceased persons and tallies filled with people who supposedly voted in alphabetical order. It took a challenge of the fraudulent results for Carter to win the election. Carter was reelected in 1964, to serve a second two-year term.

In 1966, during the end of his career as a state senator, he flirted with the idea of running for the [[United States House of Representatives]]. His Republican opponent dropped out and decided to run for Governor of Georgia. Carter did not want to see a Republican Governor of his state, and, in turn, dropped out of the race for Congress and joined the race to become Governor. Carter lost the Democratic primary, but drew enough votes as a third place candidate to force the favorite, [[Ellis Arnall]], into a [[two-round system|runoff election]], setting off a chain of events which resulted in the election of [[Lester Maddox]].

Carter was sworn-in as the 76th Governor of Georgia on January 12, 1971 and held this post for one term, until January 14, 1975. Governors of Georgia were not allowed to succeed themselves at the time. His predecessor as Governor, [[Lester Maddox]], became the [[Lieutenant Governor of Georgia|Lieutenant Governor]]. However, Carter and Maddox found little common ground during their four years of service, often publicly feuding with each other.<ref>{{cite news |author=Peter Applebome |title=In Georgia Reprise, Maddox on Stump |url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CEFDF143FF937A25752C0A966958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all |work=The New York Times |date=January 14, 1990 |accessdate=2008-02-13}}</ref><ref>[http://www.racematters.org/lestermaddox.htm Race Matters - Lester Maddox, Segregationist and Georgia Governor, Dies at 87<!--Bot-generated title-->]</ref>

Carter declared in his inaugural speech that the time of racial segregation was over, and that racial discrimination had no place in the future of the state. He was the first statewide office holder in the [[Deep South]] to say this in public.{{Fact|date=February 2008}} Afterwards, Carter appointed many [[African American]]s to statewide boards and offices. He was often called one of the "New Southern Governors"{{ndash}} much more moderate than their predecessors, and supportive of racial desegregation and expanding African-Americans' rights.

Carter improved government efficiency by merging about 300 state agencies into 30 agencies. One of his aides recalled that Governor Carter "was right there with us, working just as hard, digging just as deep into every little problem. It was his program and he worked on it as hard as anybody, and the final product was distinctly his." He also pushed reforms through the legislature, providing equal state aid to schools in the wealthy and poor areas of Georgia, set up community centers for mentally handicapped children, and increased educational programs for convicts. Carter took pride in a program he introduced for the appointment of judges and state government officials. Under this program, all such appointments were based on merit, rather than political influence.

When Carter entered the Democratic Party presidential primaries in 1976, he was considered to have little chance against nationally better-known politicians. He had a [[name recognition]] of only two percent. When he told his family of his intention to run for President, his mother asked, "President of what?" However, the [[Watergate scandal]] was still fresh in the voters' minds, and so his position as an outsider, distant from [[Washington, D.C.]], became an asset. The centerpiece of his campaign platform was government reorganization.

Carter became the front-runner early on by winning the [[Iowa caucus]]es and the [[New Hampshire primary]]. He used a two-prong strategy: In the South, which most had tacitly conceded to Alabama's George Wallace, Carter ran as a [[moderate]] [[favorite son]]. When Wallace proved to be a spent force, Carter swept the region. In the North, Carter appealed largely to conservative Christian and rural voters and had little chance of winning a majority in most states. He won several Northern states by building the largest single bloc. Carter's strategy involved reaching a region before another candidate could extend influence there. He traveled over 50,000 miles, visited 37 states, and delivered over 200 speeches before any other candidates even announced that they were in the race.<ref>[http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/presidents/video/carter_01.html#v276 PBS Amex Jimmy Who?]</ref> Initially dismissed as a regional candidate, Carter proved to be the only Democrat with a truly national strategy, and he eventually clinched the nomination.

Since the energy crunch and the explosive rise in the price of oil in the first decade of the century, Carter's speech has been re-assessed, usually in more positive light. In 2008, a ''[[U.S. News and World Report]]'' piece stated:

<blockquote>We would also do well to remember the sort of complexity and humility that Carter tried to inject into political rhetoric..Carter was unwilling to pander to the people..What Carter really did in the speech was profound. He warned Americans that the 1979 energy crisis—both a shortage of gas and higher prices—stemmed from the country's way of life. "Too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption. Human identity is no longer defined by what one does but by what one owns," the president said. Consumerism provided people with false happiness, he suggested, but it also prevented Americans from re-examining their lives in order to confront the profound challenge the energy crisis elicited. Despite [some failures] Carter left behind a way of talking about the country's promise and its need to confront what is undoubtedly one of its biggest challenges—to solve the energy crisis in a way that takes seriously both our limits and our greatness.<ref>http://www.usnews.com/articles/opinion/2008/08/13/past-and-present-malaise-and-the-energy-crisis.html</ref></blockquote>

Initially, Carter was fairly successful in getting legislation through Congress, but a rift grew between them. A few months after his term started, and thinking he had the support of about 74 Congressmen, Carter issued a "hit list" of 19 projects that he claimed were "[[pork barrel]]" spending. He said that he would veto any legislation that contained projects on this list.<ref>{{cite news

This list met with opposition from the leadership of the Democratic Party. Carter had characterized a rivers and harbors bill as wasteful spending. House speaker [[Tip O'Neill]], who supported Carter in many matters, thought it was unwise for the President to interfere with matters that had traditionally been the purview of Congress. Carter was then further weakened when he signed into law a bill containing many of the "hit list" projects.

Later, Congress refused to pass major provisions of his consumer protection bill and his labor reform package. Carter then vetoed a public works package calling it "inflationary", as it contained what he considered to be wasteful spending. Congressional leaders sensed that public support for his legislation was weak, and took advantage of it. After gutting his consumer protection bill, they transformed his tax plan into nothing more than spending for special interests, after which Carter referred to the congressional tax committees as "ravenous wolves."

During his first month in office Carter cut the defense budget by $6 billion. One of his first acts was to order the unilateral removal of all nuclear weapons from South Korea and announce his intention to cut back the number of US troops stationed there. Other military men confined intense criticism of the withdrawal to private conversations or testimony before congressional committees, but in 1977 Major General [[John K. Singlaub]], chief of staff of U.S. forces in South Korea, publicly criticized President Carter's decision to lower the U.S. troop level there. On March 21, 1977, Carter relieved him of duty, saying his publicly stated sentiments were "inconsistent with announced national security policy".<ref>{{cite web

Carter's Secretary of State Cyrus Vance and [[National Security Advisor (United States)|National Security Advisor]] [[Zbigniew Brzezinski]] paid close attention to the [[Arab-Israeli conflict]]. Diplomatic communications between [[Israel]] and [[Egypt]] increased significantly after the [[Yom Kippur War]] and the Carter administration felt that the time was right for comprehensive solution to the conflict.

In mid-1978, President Carter became quite concerned as there were only a few months left before the Egyptian- Israeli Disengagement Treaty expired. As a result, President Carter sent a special envoy to the [[Middle East]]. The American Ambassador flew back and forth between Cairo and Tel Aviv in search of ways to narrow the disagreement between the two countries. It was then suggested that the foreign ministers meet in a medieval castle in Leeds, England where they could discuss the possibilities of peace. They tried to come to an agreement, but the foreign ministers failed.<ref>Bickerton, I; Klausner, C: "A History of the Arab-Israeli Conflict", pages 188-190. Pearson Prentice Hall, 5th edition, 2007.</ref> This led to the 1978 [[Camp David Accords]], one of Carter's most important accomplishments as President. The accords were a peace agreement between Israel and Egypt negotiated by Carter, which followed up on earlier negotiations conducted in the Middle East. In these negotiations King [[Hassan II of Morocco]] acted as a negotiator between [[Arab world|Arab]] interests and Israel, and [[Nicolae Ceauşescu]] of [[Romania]] acted as go-between for Israel and the [[Palestinian Liberation Organization]] (PLO, the unofficial representative of the [[Palestinian people]]). Once initial negotiations had been completed, Egyptian President [[Anwar Sadat]] approached Carter for assistance. Carter then invited Israeli Prime Minister [[Menachem Begin]] and [[Anwar El Sadat]] to [[Camp David]] to continue the negotiations. They arrived on August 8, 1978. Upon their arrival, neither leader had addressed one another since the Vienna meeting. President Carter inevitably became the mediator between the two leaders. He spoke to each leader separately until an agreement was reached. Almost a month had passed, but no resolution had been reached. President Carter decided to take the two of them on a trip to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to break this deadlock. He showed the two leaders the battlefield and gave them a history lesson about one of the battles that had taken place during the U.S. Civil War. Carter emphasized how important it was to have peace in order to bring prosperity to the people. A lesson was learned, and when Begin and Sadat returned to Camp David, they finally agreed that something had to be signed.<ref>Bickerton, I; Klausner, C: "A History of the Arab-Israeli Conflict", pages 190-193.

On September 12, 1978, President Carter suggested dividing the negotiations over the peace treaty into two frameworks: framework #1 and framework #2. Framework #1 would address the West Bank and Gaza. Framework #2 would deal with Sinai. President Carter cleverly split the negotiations.

The first framework dealt with [[Palestine]] (the West Bank and Gaza). The first point stated that the election of a self-governing authority would be allowed to provide full autonomy to the inhabitants of the [[West Bank]] and [[Gaza]]. This government would be elected by the Palestinians and would only look after municipal affairs. The second step would be to grant Palestinians autonomy mainly on those municipal matters. Five years down the road after having gone through steps one and two, the status of Palestine could then be negotiated. Framework #1 was not very well received; the Palestinians and Jordanians were furious. They objected to the fact that Begin and Sadat were deciding on their ultimate destiny without consulting them or their leaders. Framework #1 for that reason was not going to work; it was essentially a dead end.<ref>Bickerton, I; Klausner, C: "A History of the Arab-Israeli Conflict", pages 190-193; 198-200. Pearson Prentice Hall, 5th edition, 2007.</ref>

The second framework dealt with the [[Sinai Peninsula]]. This framework consisted of two points:

1. The two parties, Egypt and Israel, should negotiate a treaty over a period of six months based on the principle of Egyptian sovereignty over Sinai and the withdrawal of Israel from that region.
2. This treaty would be followed and included in it would be the establishment of diplomatic, political, economic, and cultural relations between Egypt and Israel.

This would be a peace that would establish normal relations between the two states.
This was the basis of the two frameworks, but it had yet to be approved.<ref>Bickerton, I; Klausner, C: "A History of the Arab-Israeli Conflict", pages 190-193; 198-200. Pearson Prentice Hall, 5th edition, 2007.</ref>

The reaction to this proposal in the Arab world was very negative. In November 1978, there was an emergency meeting held by the Arab League in Damascus. Once again, Egypt was the main subject of the meeting, and they condemned the proposed treaty that Egypt was going to sign.
Sadat was also attacked by the Arab press for breaking ranks with the Arab League and having betrayed the Arab world. Discussions pertaining to the future peace treaty took place in both countries. Israel insisted in its negotiations that the Israel-Egypt treaty should supersede all of Egypt’s other treaties, including those signed with the Arab League and Arab states.
Israel also wanted access to the oil discovered in the Sinai region. President Carter interjected and informed the Israelis that the U.S. would supply Israel with whatever oil it needed for the next 15 years if Egypt at any point decided not to supply oil to Israel.<ref>Bickerton, I; Klausner, C: "A History of the Arab-Israeli Conflict", pages 192-193. Pearson Prentice Hall, 5th edition, 2007.</ref>

While framework #1 was already approved by the Israeli Government, the second framework also needed approval. The Israeli Cabinet accepted the second framework of the treaty. The Israeli Parliament also approved the second framework with a comfortable majority. Alternatively, the Egyptian Government was arguing about a number of things. They did not like the fact that this proposed treaty was going to supersede all other treaties. Egyptians were also disappointed that they were unable to link the Sinai question to the Palestinian question. On March 26, 1979, a peace treaty was signed between Israel and Egypt in Washington, D.C.<ref>Bickerton, I; Klausner, C: "A History of the Arab-Israeli Conflict", pages 190-193; 198-200.

On October 1, 1979, President Carter announced before a television audience the existence of the [[Rapid Deployment Forces]] (RDF), a mobile fighting force capable of responding to worldwide trouble spots, without drawing on forces committed to [[NATO]]. The RDF was the forerunner of [[United States Central Command|CENTCOM]].{{Fact|date=November 2007}}

====Human Rights====
President Carter initially departed from the long-held policy of [[containment]] toward the [[Soviet Union]]. In its place Carter promoted a foreign policy that put [[human rights]] at the front. This was a break from the policies of several predecessors, in which [[human rights]] abuses were often overlooked if they were committed by a nation that was allied with the United States. The Carter Administration ended support to the historically U.S.-backed [[Anastasio Somoza|Somoza]] regime in [[Nicaragua]] and gave aid to the new [[Sandinista|Sandinista National Liberation Front]] government that assumed power after Somoza's overthrow. However, Carter ignored a plea from [[El Salvador]]'s Archbishop [[Óscar Romero]] not to send military aid to that country. Romero was later assassinated for his criticism of El Salvador's violation of human rights.{{Fact|date=November 2007}} Carter was also criticised by the feminist author and activist Andrea Dworkin for ignoring issues of women's rights in Saudi Arabia.<ref>[http://www.nostatusquo.com/ACLU/dworkin/WarZoneChaptIIIA.html A Feminist Looks at Saudi Arabia<!--Bot-generated title-->]</ref>

Carter continued his predecessors' policies of imposing sanctions on [[Rhodesia]], and, after Bishop [[Abel Muzorewa]] was elected [[Prime Minister]], protested the exclusion of [[Robert Mugabe]] and [[Joshua Nkomo]] from participating in the elections. Strong pressure from the United States and the United Kingdom prompted new elections in what was then called [[Zimbabwe Rhodesia]] (now [[Zimbabwe]]), which saw Robert Mugabe elected as Prime Minister of Zimbabwe; afterwards, sanctions were lifted, and diplomatic recognition was granted. Carter was also known for his criticism of [[Paraguay]]'s [[Alfredo Stroessner]], [[Augusto Pinochet]] (who was forced to grant [[Chile]] a [[constitution]] providing for a transition back into democracy), the [[Apartheid]] government of South Africa, [[Zaire]] (although Carter later changed course and supported Zaire, in response to alleged - albeit unproven - [[Cuba]]n support of anti-[[Mobutu Sese Seko|Mobutu]] rebels<ref>Crawford Young and Thomas Turner, ''The Rise and Decline of the Zairian State'', p. 389</ref><ref>Jeffrey M. Elliot and Mervyn M. Dymally, ''Voices of Zaire: Rhetoric or Reality'', p. 88</ref>) and other traditional allies.

====People's Republic of China====
:''See also'' [[Sino-American relations#Liaison Office, 1973-1978|Sino-American relations]]

[[Image:Carter DengXiaoping.jpg|thumb|216px|[[Deng Xiaoping]] with President Carter]]
Carter continued the policy of Richard Nixon to normalize relations with the People's Republic of China by granting them full diplomatic and trade relations, and not with [[Taiwan]] (though the two nations continued to trade and the U.S. unofficially recognized Taiwan through the [[Taiwan Relations Act]]). In the [[Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations]] dated January 1, 1979, the United States transferred diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing. The U.S. reiterated the Shanghai Communiqué's acknowledgment of the Chinese position that there is only one China and that Taiwan is a part of China; Beijing acknowledged that the American people would continue to carry on commercial, cultural, and other unofficial contacts with the people of Taiwan.

====Panama Canal Treaties====
One of the most controversial moves of President Carter's presidency was the final negotiation and signature of the [[Panama Canal Treaties]] in September 1977. Those treaties, which essentially would transfer control of the American-built Panama Canal to the nation of [[Panama]], were bitterly opposed by a majority of the American public and by the Republican Party. A common argument against the treaties was that the United States was transferring an American asset of great strategic value to an unstable and corrupt country led by an unelected but popularly supported General ([[Omar Torrijos]]). Those that supported the Treaties argued that the Canal was built within Panamanian territory therefore, by controlling it, the United States was in fact occupying part of another country and this agreement was intended to turn back to Panama the sovereignty of its complete territory. After the signature of the Canal treaties, in June 1978, Jimmy Carter visited Panama with his wife and twelve U.S. Senators, amid widespread student disturbances against the Torrijos administration. Carter then began urging the Torrijos regime to soften its policies and move Panama towards gradual [[republicanism]].

====Strategic Arms Limitations Talks (SALT)====
[[Image:Carter Brezhnev sign SALT II.jpg|thumb|250px|left||President Jimmy Carter and Soviet General Secretary [[Leonid Brezhnev]] sign the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT II) treaty, June 18, 1979, in [[Vienna]]]]

A key foreign policy issue Carter worked laboriously on was the [[Strategic Arms Limitation Talks#SALT II|SALT II Treaty]], which reduced the number of nuclear arms produced and/or maintained by both the United States and the Soviet Union. SALT is the common name for the Strategic Arms Limitations Talks, negotiations conducted between the US and the USSR. The work of Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon brought about the SALT I treaty, which had itself reduced the number of nuclear arms produced, but Carter wished to further this reduction. It was his main goal (as was stated in his Inaugural Address) that nuclear weaponry be completely banished from the face of the Earth.

Carter and Leonid Brezhnev, the leader of the Soviet Union, reached an agreement to this end in 1979{{ndash}} the SALT II Treaty, despite opposition in Congress to ratifying it, as many thought it weakened US defenses. Following the Soviet invasion of [[Afghanistan]] late in 1979 however, Carter withdrew the treaty from consideration by Congress and the treaty was never ratified (though it was signed by both Carter and Brezhnev). Even so, both sides honored the commitments laid out in the negotiations.

====Intervention in Afghanistan====
{{seealso|Operation Cyclone}}
The United States secretly began sending aid to anti-Soviet, Afghan Islamist factions on July 3, 1979. In December 1979 the USSR [[Soviet invasion of Afghanistan|invaded Afghanistan]], after the pro-[[Moscow]] Afghanistan government, put in power by a 1978 coup, was overthrown. At the time some believed the Soviets were attempting to expand their borders southward in order to gain a foothold in the region. The Soviet Union had long lacked a [[warm water port]], and their movement south seemed to position them for further expansion toward [[Pakistan]] in the East, and [[Iran]] to the West. American politicians, Republicans and Democrats alike, ignorant of U.S. involvement, feared the Soviets were positioning themselves for a takeover of [[Middle East]]ern oil. Others believed that the Soviet Union was afraid Iran's Islamic Revolution and Afghanistan's Islamization would spread to the millions of Muslims in the USSR. National Security Advisor [[Zbigniew Brzezinski]] revealed the Carter Administration's involvement in starting the war in a 1998 interview with ''Le Nouvel Observateur''. Brzezinski told ''Le Nouvel Observateur'' that the Soviet invasion gave America "the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam War."[http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/BRZ110A.html Full Text of Interview]

After the invasion, Carter announced what became known as the [[Carter Doctrine]]: that the U.S. would not allow any other outside force to gain control of the [[Persian Gulf]]. He terminated the Russian Wheat Deal, which was intended to establish trade with USSR and lessen [[Cold War]] tensions. The grain exports had been beneficial to people employed in agriculture, and the Carter embargo marked the beginning of hardship for American farmers. He also prohibited Americans from participating in the [[1980 Summer Olympics]] in [[Moscow]], and reinstated registration for the [[conscription|draft]] for young males.

{{Refimprove|remainder of the section|date=January 2007}}
[[Image:Carter and Brzezinski.jpg|right|thumb|Jimmy Carter standing with Zbigniew Brzezinski]]
Carter and Brzezinski started a $40 billion covert program of training insurgents in Pakistan and Afghanistan as a part of the efforts to foil the Soviets' apparent plans. On the surface as well, Carter's diplomatic policies towards Pakistan in particular changed drastically. The administration had cut off financial [[aid]] to the country in early 1979 when religious fundamentalists, encouraged by the prevailing [[Islamist]] [[military dictatorship]] over Pakistan, burnt down a [[American diplomatic missions|US Embassy]] based there. The international stake in Pakistan, however, had greatly increased with the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The then-[[President of Pakistan]], General [[Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq]], was offered 400 million dollars to subsidize the [[anti-communist]] [[Mujahideen]] in Afghanistan by Carter. General Zia declined the offer as insufficient, famously declaring it to be "peanuts"; and the U.S. was forced to step up aid to Pakistan.

Reagan would later expand this program greatly to combat Cold War concerns presented by Russia at the time. Critics of this policy blame Carter and Reagan for the resulting instability of post-Soviet Afghan governments, which led to the rise of Islamic [[theocracy]] in the region, and also created many of the current problems with Islamic fundamentalism.

====Iran hostage crisis====
{{main|Iran hostage crisis}}
[[Image:The Shah with Atherton, Sullivan, Vance, Carter and Brzezinski, 1977.jpg|left|thumb|300px|The Iranian Shah, [[Mohammad Reza Pahlavi]], meeting with [[Arthur Atherton]], [[William H. Sullivan]], Cyrus Vance, President Jimmy Carter and Zbigniew Brzezinski, 1977]]
The main conflict between human rights and U.S. interests came in Carter's dealings with the [[Shah of Iran]]. The Shah, [[Mohammad Reza Pahlavi of Iran|Mohammad Reza Pahlavi]], had been a strong ally of the United States since [[World War II]] and was one of the "twin pillars" upon which U.S. strategic policy in the [[Middle East]] was built. However, his rule was strongly [[autocracy|autocratic]], and in 1953 he went along with the [[Dwight Eisenhower|Eisenhower]] Administration in staging a [[Coup d'état|coup]] to remove the elected Prime Minster, [[Mohammed Mossadegh]].

On a state visit to Iran, Carter spoke out in favor of the Shah, calling him a leader of supreme wisdom, and a pillar of stability in the volatile Middle East. The speech was apparently never shown on American television. {{Fact|date=August 2008}}

When the [[Iranian Revolution]] broke out in Iran and the Shah was overthrown, the U.S. did not intervene directly. The Shah went into permanent [[exile]]. Carter initially refused him entry to the United States, even on grounds of medical emergency.

Despite his initial refusal to admit the Shah into the United States, on October 22, 1979, Carter finally granted him entry and temporary [[asylum]] for the duration of his [[cancer]] treatment; the Shah left for [[Panama]] on December 15, 1979. In response to the Shah's entry into the U.S., [[Iran hostage crisis|Iranian militants seized]] the American embassy in [[Tehran]], taking 52 Americans hostage.<ref name = "Dyer-2004"/> The Iranians demanded:
# the return of the Shah to Iran for trial,
# the return of the Shah's wealth to the [[Iranian people]],
# an admission of guilt by the United States for its past actions in Iran, plus an apology, and
# a promise from the United States not to interfere in Iran's affairs in the future.
Though later that year the Shah left the U.S. and died in [[Egypt]], the hostage crisis continued and dominated the last year of Carter's presidency. The subsequent responses to the crisis{{ndash}} from a "[[White House Rose Garden|Rose Garden]] strategy" of staying inside the White House, to the unsuccessful attempt to rescue the hostages by military means{{ndash}} were largely seen as contributing to Carter's defeat in the [[U.S. presidential election, 1980|1980 election]].

After the hostages were taken, Carter issued, on November 14, 1979, Executive Order 12170 - Blocking Iranian Government property,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.archives.gov/federal-register/executive-orders/1979.html |title=http://www.archives.gov/federal-register/executive-orders/1979.html |accessdate= |format= |work=}}</ref> which was used to freeze the bank accounts of the Iranian government in US banks, totaling about $8 billion US at the time. This was to be used as a bargaining chip for the release of the hostages.

In the days before President [[Ronald Reagan]] took office, [[Algeria]]n diplomat Abdulkarim Ghuraib opened negotiations between the U.S. and Iran. This resulted in the "Algiers Accords" one day before the end of the Carter's Presidency on January 19, 1981, which entailed Iran's commitment to free the hostages immediately.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Hostage_Crisis|title=Iranian Hostage Crisis |accessdate= |format= |work=}}</ref> Additionally, Executive Orders 12277 through 12285 were issued by Carter<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/executive_orders.php?year=1981|title=http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/executive_orders.php?year=1981 |accessdate= |format= |work=}}</ref> releasing all assets belonging to the Iranian government and all assets belonging to the Shah found within the United States and the guarantee that the hostages would have no legal claim against the Iranian government that would be heard in U.S. courts. Iran, however, also agreed to place $1 billion of the frozen assets in an escrow account and both Iran and the United States agreed to the creation of a tribunal to adjudicate claims by U.S. Nationals against Iran for compensation for property lost by them or contracts breached by Iran. The tribunal, known as the [[Iran-United States Claims Tribunal]], has awarded over $2 billion dollars to U.S. claimaints and has been described as one of the most important arbitration bodies in the history of [[international law]]. Although the release of the hostages was negotiated and secured under the Carter administration, the hostages were released on January 20, 1981, moments after Reagan was sworn in as President.

===Special counsel investigating campaign loans===
In April 1979, [[United States Attorney General]] [[Griffin Bell]] appointed [[Paul J. Curran]] as a special counsel to investigate loans made to the peanut business owned by Carter by a bank controlled by [[Bert Lance]], a friend of the president and the director of the [[Office of Management and Budget]]. Unlike [[Archibald Cox]] and [[Leon Jaworski]] who were named as [[special prosecutor]]s to investigate the [[Watergate scandal]], Curran's position as special counsel meant that he would not be able to file charges on his own, but would require the approval of Assistant Attorney General [[Philip Heymann]].<ref>Staff.

[[Image:Jimmy and Billy Carter.gif|right|thumb|With his brother, [[Billy Carter]], at the commencement ceremonies at [[Georgia Institute of Technology]] in Atlanta, February 20, 1979]]
Carter's brother [[Billy Carter|Billy]] generated a great deal of notoriety during Carter's presidency for his colorful and often outlandish public behavior.<ref>[http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/carter/peopleevents/p_bcarter.html PBS's American Experience - Billy Carter]</ref> In 1977, Billy Carter endorsed [[Billy Beer]], capitalizing upon his colorful image as a beer-drinking, Southern boy that had developed in the [[Mass media|press]] during President Carter's campaign. Billy Carter's name was occasionally used as a gag answer for a [[Washington, D.C.]], trouble-maker on 1970s episodes of ''[[The Match Game]]''. Billy Carter once urinated on an airport runway in full view of the press and dignitaries. In late 1978 and early 1979, Billy Carter visited [[Libya]] with a contingent from Georgia three times. He eventually registered as a foreign agent of the Libyan government and received a $220,000 loan. This led to a [[United States Senate|Senate]] hearing over alleged [[influence peddling]], which some in the press dubbed "Billygate". A Senate sub-committee was called ''To Investigate Activities of Individuals Representing Interests of Foreign Governments (Billy Carter-Libya Investigation)''.

On May 5, 1979, Carter was the target of [[Raymond Lee Harvey]], a [[mental illness|mentally ill]] [[transient]], who was found with a [[starter pistol]] awaiting the President's [[Cinco de Mayo]] speech at the [[Civic Center Mall]] in [[Los Angeles]], and claimed to be part of a four-man assassination attempt.<ref>[http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,920351,00.html Skid Row Plot - TIME<!--Bot-generated title-->]</ref>

===1980 election===
{{main|United States presidential election, 1980}}
[[Image:ElectoralCollege1980.svg|thumb|300px|right||The electoral map of the 1980 election]]

Carter lost the presidency to [[Ronald Reagan]] in the 1980 election. The popular vote went 50.7 percent, or 43.9 million popular votes, for Reagan and 41 percent, or 35.5 million, for Carter. Independent candidate [[John B. Anderson]] won 6.6 percent, or 5.7 million votes. However, because Carter's support was not concentrated in any geographic region, Reagan won a landslide 91 percent of the [[electoral vote]], leaving Carter with only six states and the [[District of Columbia]]. Reagan carried a total of 489 electoral votes compared to Carter's 49.

While Carter kept his promise (all 52 hostages returned home alive), he failed to secure the release of the hostages prior to the election. While Carter ultimately won their release, Iran did not release the hostages until minutes after Reagan took office. In recognition of the fact that Carter was responsible for bringing the hostages home, Reagan asked him to go to [[West Germany]] to greet them upon their release.

During his campaign, Carter was mocked for [[Jimmy Carter rabbit incident|an encounter with a swimming rabbit]] while fishing on a farm pond on April 20, 1979.

==Post-Presidency==
[[Image:FordNixonBushReaganCarter.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Jimmy Carter in 1991 with [[Gerald Ford]], [[Richard Nixon]], [[George H. W. Bush]], and [[Ronald Reagan]] at the dedication of the Reagan Presidential Library.]]

In 1981, Carter returned to Georgia to his peanut farm, which he had placed into a [[blind trust]] during his presidency to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest. Unfortunately, he found that the trustees had mismanaged the trust, leaving him over one million dollars in debt. In the years that followed, he has led an active life, establishing The Carter Center, building his presidential library, teaching at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, and writing numerous books.<ref name = "Dyer-2004"/>

===Legacy===
Carter’s presidency has received mixed assessments from scholars and historians. In [[Historical rankings of United States Presidents|historical rankings of U.S. presidents]], the Carter presidency has ranged from #19 to #34. Although Carter's presidency was viewed by some as a failure when he left office in 1981, his extensive peacekeeping and humanitarian efforts since that time have led him to be widely hailed as one of the most successful ex-presidents in U.S. history.<ref> PBS Online/WGBH, [http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/carter/peopleevents/e_post.html "People & Events: Jimmy Carter's Post-Presidency"], ''American Experience: Jimmy Carter'', 1999-2001, Retrieved 08-04-2008. </ref> .<ref>{{cite journal|last=Brinkley|first=Douglas|authorlink=Douglas Brinkley|month=Fall|year=1996|title=The rising stock of Jimmy Carter: The 'hands on' legacy of our thirty-ninth President|journal=Diplomatic History|volume=20|issue=4|pages=505–530|id={{ISSN|0145-2096}}|doi=10.1111/j.1467-7709.1996.tb00285.x}}
</ref>

Jimmy Carter and [[Walter Mondale]] are the longest-living post-presidential team in American history. On December 11, 2006, they had been out of office for 25 years and 325 days, surpassing the former record established by President [[John Adams]] and Vice President [[Thomas Jefferson]], who both died on July 4, 1826.

===The Carter Center===
As President, Carter expressed a goal of making government "competent and compassionate." In pursuit of that vision, he has been involved in a variety of national and international public policy, conflict resolution, human rights and charitable causes.

In 1982, he established [[The Carter Center]] in [[Atlanta, Georgia]], to advance [[human rights]] and alleviate unnecessary human suffering. The [[non-profit]], nongovernmental Center promotes [[democracy]], mediates and prevents conflicts, and monitors the electoral process in support of free and fair [[elections]]. It also works to improve [[global health]] through the control and [[Eradication of infectious diseases|eradication]] of diseases such as [[Guinea worm disease]], [[Onchocerciasis|river blindness]], [[malaria]], [[trachoma]], [[lymphatic filariasis]], and [[schistosomiasis]]. It also works to diminish the [[social stigma|stigma]] against [[mental illnesses]] and improve nutrition through increased crop production in Africa.
A major accomplishment of The Carter Center has been the elimination of more than 99 percent of cases of [[Guinea worm disease]], a debilitating [[parasite]] that has existed since ancient times, from an estimated 3.5 million cases in 1986 to fewer than 10,000 cases in 2007.<ref> [http://cartercenter.org/health/guinea_worm/index.html Carter Center Guinea Worm Eradication Program], Retrieved 08-04-2008. </ref>
The Carter Center has monitored 70 elections in 28 countries since 1989.<ref> [http://www.cartercenter.org/peace/democracy/observed.html Elections Observed by The Carter Center], Retrieved 08-04-2008. </ref>
It has worked to resolve conflicts in [[Haiti]], [[Bosnia]], [[Ethiopia]], [[North Korea]], [[Sudan]] and other countries.
Carter and the [[The Carter Center|Center]] actively support [[human rights defenders]] around the world and have intervened with [[heads of state]] on their behalf.

===Nobel Peace Prize===
In 2002, President Carter received the [[Nobel Peace Prize]] for his work “to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development” through [[Carter Center|The Carter Center]].<ref> [[Norwegian Nobel Committee]], 2002 Nobel Peace Prize announcement, [http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/2002/press.html], October 11, 2002, accessed August 4, 2008. </ref> He was the third [[U.S. President]], after [[Theodore Roosevelt]] and [[Woodrow Wilson]], to be awarded the Prize. Carter shares with [[Martin Luther King, Jr.]], the distinction of being the only native Georgians to be so honored.

===Diplomacy===
====North Korea====
In 1994, Carter gained the permission of then-President [[Bill Clinton]] to undertake a peace mission to [[North Korea]].<ref> Marion V. Creekmore, ''A Moment of Crisis: Jimmy Carter, The Power of a Peacemaker, and North Korea's Nuclear Ambitions'' (2006)</ref> [[North Korea]] had expelled investigators from the [[International Atomic Energy Agency]] and was threatening to begin processing spent [[nuclear fuel]]. Carter negotiated an understanding with North Korean President [[Kim Il Sung]], which led to the [[Clinton Administration]] signing of the [[Agreed Framework]], under which [[North Korea]] agreed to freeze and ultimately dismantle its current nuclear program and comply with its [[nonproliferation]] obligations in exchange for oil deliveries, the construction of two [[light water reactors]] to replace its [[graphite moderated reactors|graphite reactors]], and discussions for eventual diplomatic relations.

The agreement was widely hailed at the time as a significant diplomatic achievement. However, in December 2002, the [[Agreed Framework]] collapsed as a result of a dispute between the [[George W. Bush Administration]] and the North Korean government of [[Kim Jong Il]]. In 2001, [[George W. Bush|President George W. Bush]] had taken a confrontational position toward North Korea and, in January 2002, named it as part of an "[[Axis of Evil]]." Meanwhile, [[North Korea]] began developing the capability to [[enriched uranium|enrich uranium]]. Bush Administration opponents of the [[Agreed Framework]] believed that the North Korean government never intended to give up a [[nuclear weapons|nuclear weapons program]], but supporters believed that the agreement could have been successful and was undermined.<ref name = "commentary10824">{{cite web

Carter states that "one of the defenses of the Bush administration... has been, okay, we must be more correct in our actions than the world thinks because [[Great Britain]] is backing us. So I think the combination of Bush and Blair giving their support to this tragedy in [[Iraq]] has strengthened the effort and has made the opposition less effective, and prolonged the war and increased the tragedy that has resulted."

Carter intends to be buried in front of his home in Plains, Georgia. In contrast, most Presidents since [[Herbert Hoover]] have been buried at their presidential library or presidential museum, with the exception of [[John F. Kennedy]], who is buried at [[Arlington National Cemetery]], [[Lyndon B. Johnson]], who is buried at his own [[Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park|ranch]], and [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]], who is buried in the Rose Garden of his home in [[Hyde Park, New York]]. Both President Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, were born in Plains. Carter also noted that a funeral in [[Washington, D.C.]] with visitation at the Carter Center is being planned as well.<ref> Associated Press, [http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8LPLR1G0&show_article=1 "President Carter Talks of Funeral Plans"<!--Bot-generated title-->], December 3, 2006.
