Something else changed that day, however, that marked yet another monumental by-product of the terrorist attacks that forever altered America's support for its president.

President Carter, US-Soviet Relations And The Eventual Fall Of The Soviet Union
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The evolution of President Carter's policies regarding US-Soviet relations and human rights indicates he made a fundamental reevaluation of US policy and approach to the Soviets. This change in policy direction lead to the course of events that eventually caused the fall of the Soviet Union. Historically, foreign policy has typically reflected an attempt to coexist within the boundaries of civilized reality; however, the divided interpretations of what civilized reality truly means have often clouded the very essence behind the concept of foreign policy. When the established policy does not provide for friendly relations, the only alternative arrangement finds that the parties involved are struggling to overpower each other in an attempt to either acquire or maintain political superiority. President Carter did not care for this acrimonious approach to foreign relations and did his part to hold "other countries to the highest standard possible, a standard by which, he believed, Americans would want themselves to be judged" (Anonymous, 2002).
