NEW YORK – A ghost chases Joe Biden. It has the features of Jimmy Carter: the democratic president whose political star was shot down by the Iranian Khomeinists in 1979, with the taking of American hostages at the Tehran embassy. A foreign policy disaster can sometimes be irremediable, for Carter it was. Biden is going through the most dramatic crisis of his political career (even if on a human level, life has inflicted even more severe trials on him, the loss of his wife and children).
