Well, okay, maybe one thing. Referring to the Iran hostage crisis, Carter said, “I have a specific regret in not having one more helicopter when I wanted to rescue our hostages.  If I had had one more helicopter, they would have been rescued. I might have been reelected president.”

But presidency, schmesidency, says Carter, who thinks that the Oval Office isn’t nearly as sweet a gig as his own humanitarian efforts at The Carter Center. IAfter all,f he had had that extra helicopter, which would have rescued the hostages (wildly presuming, of course, that the Delta Force commanders were able to pull of a daring rescue of the more than 50 U.S. citizens being held in Tehran) and, thus, helped re-elect him president, Carter said “in that case I probably wouldn’t have had the Carter Center, so in balance I would not want to have changed anything.”
