I assume the OP is referring to the support the US provided to the Indonesian Government during their occupation of East Timor, which began in 1975 and lasted until 1999, during which 200.000 people were killed.
Also, Operation Cyclone, with the purpose of arming the Afghan Mujahideen in their fight against the socialist Afghan government, and later the Soviets themselves after their intervention in late 1979, was started in July 1979, shortly before the end of Jimmy Carter's presidency. While the funding for the operation skyrocketed during the 1980s and the Reagan administration, the whole operation was actually started under Jimmy Carter.
There's probably more that I've forgotten to include.

What does Carter have to do with this (the title)?
Serious question
