Maybe Carter's methods didn't work with the USSR, but they did work with the Camp David peace accords between Egypt and Israel. Besides, the USSR actually had the ability to destroy us, so tangling with them would have been very dangerous.

I don't see Bush's methods bringing peace anywhere. Do you?
