Carter's folly

The reason we are now talking about a nucleur Iran is because of the bleeding heart and appeasement of President Carter. True, the Shah was not a saint but had the U.S. supported him for the time being until a true democracy was established in Iran we wouldnt have the insanity that now exists nor the threat of war between Israel and Iran. The mere fact that Mr. Carter is willing to support the murderers of Hamas who will never recognize Israel as a homeland for Jewish people says that Carter follows the "Prime Minister Chamberlin philosphy" of negotiation..just appease, just appease.

Carter and Peace in the middle east

Jimmy Carter is a good hearted man, and we all know that the world is running out of such great people. The only thing war prevents is peace, and today in the United States we all can agree, that it prevents the U.S. and the world from maintaining and creating prosperous economies for our children and grandchildren, here and around the world. Its time that we all(The Whole World) work together on healing our earth's more important issues such as the enviorment, and space exploration etc. Muslims and the Jews both are related any way, children of Abraham, both of them deserve a home of their own, in the holyland, to live in peace and work together to become an economic contender in the world. The same goes for North Korea, South Korea, Russia, China, Europe, South America, Africa, Australia, Asia. Greed and Jealousy is the suspect of our battles and our problems on earth. Thanks to people like Jimmy Carter who remind us children, That we are adults that must work together against mother nature, the population of the world is a big issue, thats the reason for some much tension, the muslims should understand that isreal is not as populated(Big) as the muslims, and the jews must and should defend itself to exist, however not start a war at every turn, the jews have the upper hand and should use diplomacy, not battles, nor war,and same goes for the muslims, if hamas is what they have to move forward with peace, the jews should understand and deal with them. Thank you Mr. Jimmy Carter and those Peace makers, for you are all REAL MEN, and Blessed by my Religon Christianity

Carter's Expertise

While I genuinely believe that President Carter has a good heart and in concerned about the fair treatment and good of people, History has shown that Carter's judgements and opinions are not sound. Decisions to cut military spending led to deminishing military capabilities that led to a position of weakness that led to hostage situation that led to helecopters stranded in a desert. Bank deregulation (The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 begun under Carter.....magnified by Clinton Administration)led to um....... Carter is, however, pretty good with a hammer.JMO

JIMMY - PUT A SOCK IN IT...

I can't think of even one success in your resume. I believe your heart is generally in the right place. However, you seem to lack any tether to a foundation of common sense - you are simply adrift in a world of make believe.

Carter and The Middle East

Peace in the middle east is no different than peace anywhere else in the the world, it takes both sides to work together and lots of goodwill and cooperation to make the process grow and develop.....our ex-president seems to believe that the flowers will bloom much better in the middle east if those apparthied Israelis will please leave the area....the palestinians have a cute little game they play even in the "Peace Time" they send missiles given to them by the iranians and others into Israel for absolute fun...which he seems to miss in his many beliefs and ideas......Cordially .....
