Line o' the Day: Keeping the Peace

 

Carter Veep Walter Mondale: Since the Carter administration left office, we have been criticized for many things. Yet I remain enormously proud of what we did in those four years, especially that we told the truth, obeyed the law and kept the peace. What do you call it when the U.S. sits idly by as the Soviets invade Afghanistan and a newly radicalized Iran holds Americans hostage? Walter Mondale calls it "keeping the peace." --James Taranto
