I see no evidence that this is true.  Their actions speak for themselves.
Carter, as I see it, has been responsible for the deaths of more people
so far than Bush has, for the reasons I gave.

Yes, in the case of Bush, a few more seem to have lived, but that
doesn't make him a good guy.

Oh?  And why do the body counts say the opposite?  Jimmy Carter's smile
and peaceful rhetoric cloak a holy murderer.

Again, do the math yourself --- a realistic standard.  The numbers
don't lie.
