JIMMY CARTER - ROADMAP TO DISASTER

The visit has not led to a significant change. Hamas finds the conditions unacceptable, he said. Recognizing Israel is completely unacceptable.

For some reason Jimmy Carter just can't go away. This week he told the world that Hamas should be taken off the International Terror watch list. I know, your saying to yourself, all they do is plant roadside bombs, shoot off rockets, and send suicide bombers into Israel whenever they get the chance.

Why have them on a terrorist list? Heck, they were even nice enough to disarm 2 roadside bombs before Carter's motorcade would have hit them. Aren't they sweet?

My personal opinion, Jimmy Carter is directly responsible for the mess in Iran. His world view and policies when he was President caused the Islamic Revolution, and led to millions of people being repressed and murdered. Of course, Mr Carter sees himself as the world peace negotiator. His negotiating abilities are what turned Iran into a dictatorship. And maybe hes doesn't know, but Hamas answers to Iran.


The people think this is a historic visit, Youssef told The Associated Press on Wednesday, describing Carter as somebody very knowledgeable about the conflict and very sincere in the way he understands the conflict.

Youssef said the other two international conditions _ renouncing violence and accepting past agreements between Israel and the Palestinians _ are irrelevant


See, here is the underlying problem. The Palestinian Authority says renouncing violence and accepting previously agreed peace Policies are irrelevant. They also refuse to let Israel live in peace, or acknowledge their right to exist.

Sounds like they are ready to negotiate, doesn't it.

He antagonized many Israelis with his 2007 book, "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid," in which he argued that Israel must choose between ceding the West Bank to the Palestinians or maintaining a system of ethnic inequality similar to that of the apartheid regime in South Africa. Most Israelis strongly reject the comparison.

Accepting peace means apartheid. Now there is a new way to spin things.

Bill Clinton got the Israelis to concede all to all the terms the PLO had put to them for peace. When it came to signing the agreement, Yaser Arafat refused. He said there would never be peace, and he wanted all the Israelis dead.

It doesn't look like they have changed their mind, and at some point it would be nice if our government realized it.

Until then, Jimmy Carter should stay on his peanut ranch, and build his habitat for humanity houses. In the Middle East, he continues to be played like a pawn.
