but how many 84 year old men are willing to forgo the comforts of retirement in order to strive towards something that they believe in, despite the personal risk?

Castro, Duvallier, Pinochet, Franco, Somoza, Mubarek, Khomeni, Mao...They all stayed on to the bitter end because they wanted their place in history, or infamy, whichever. Carter is just our version of that.
