Lesley Stahl: Jimmy Carter Most Proud of Four Years of Peace

AP Photo/File

President Jimmy Carter was 100 years old and in hospice care, so it's no surprise to hear of his passing over the weekend. The mainstream media have had their eulogies ready to go, and "60 Minutes" wasted no time posting theirs Sunday. Leslie Stahl noted some of Carter's greatest achievements: putting solar panels on the White House roof; giving away the Panama Canal; passing more legislation in one term than most presidents do in two — but he was most proud of presiding over four years of peace.

Maybe we didn't fire a single bullet. He ordered Operation Eagle Claw, which sent the U.S. Air Force to attempt to rescue American embassy staff held hostage in Iran. Perhaps a shot or two might have been fired if that operation hadn't been a complete failure.

Very well said.


This editor lived through his presidency and never felt at peace.

We don't remember hostages being held 444 as "peace" between the United States and Iran. But as Stahl said, Carter eventually freed them all.

Also, what's so great about passing legislation?

They've had this hagiography ready to roll for years now. We wonder if Donald Trump will receive the same sort of remembrance when he passes if "60 Minutes" is still around.
