Carter's Carnage

Carter's Carnage

Dear Stephen,

Your editorial (2/6/81) seems to accept Carter's claims that American allies in the third world were expected to improve their human rights record before further arms and aid were provided. An examination of history shows that Carter was aware of repression and brutality in South Korea, the Philippines and other third world countries. History also shows that the US stepped up military aid during Carter's administration to enable repression of these countries to continue. If Carter and Reagan are typical of "Born again" Christians who would want to be one?
