I Tried Not To Hate Ted Turner But It Didn’t Take
Tom Brokaw: Your friend Jimmy Carter tried to be friendly with Leonid Brezhnev, and for his friendliness what did Brezhnev do? He invaded Afghanistan.
Ted Turner: I remember that. Before I got involved.
Tom: He invaded Afghanistan.
Ted: Well, we invaded Afghanistan too, and it’s a lot further…at least it’s on the border of…uh…of…of the Soviet Union, or the former Soviet Union, or Russia…uhm, a lot of these countries have changed names several times.
Tom: But Ted, don’t try to go there in terms of justifying it. The fact is that it was a naked aggression.
Ted: Why can’t I justify it?
