This is an objectively true statement. Of course the world is lead by assholes.
We all know that power corrupts. Neuroscience has shown that getting power damages the brain's capacity for empathy.
You just can't lead a nation without becoming capable of great evil.
Jimmy Carter seems like a decent person.
If those are the worst examples you can come up with the man was basically a saint. What a bullshit hit piece. I am now dumber for having read it.
So he has blood on his hands for not getting involved and for getting involved when both sides are likely to commit atrocities.
What a ridiculous bar to set.
The first example was Zaire, so if you don't even know what you are linking I'm not going to go through it line by line.

Oh look, you edited your first post with a snide remark!

I do not accept your apology.

Yup. One of the very few who had the capability and likely didn't use it.
Which of course led to him being single term because he wasn't ruthless enough for a voting public that would rather have a former actor run the country into the ground while paying loveable grandpa to hide the evil.
But that wasn't because he couldn't lead the country, just that the public loves to fall for confident blowhards that tell them what they want to hear.
