Well danged, Dougie! There you go again. Exactly where do you come up with this stuff? Rush Limbaugh? Yeah, now there is a truthfull man on *HIS* way go a Nobel Peace Prize? Come on...
Carter has tried to broker normalized relations between the US and North Korea which I for one think would be a positive sign but then again I have repeatedly preached inclusionary foriegn policy as a more practical and less dangerous alternative to excluding folks, starving their kids and attacking them.
And lets keep another thing in mind when talking about Jimmy Carter. His political fortunes were probably hurt by his determination to put peoples lives over politics and polls. He worker tirelessly to negotiate the release of the hostages in Iran and *was* successful. A less patient man with a less humanistic value system would have just blown a bunch of folks up and probably been reelected, in spite of the economic problems caused by the oil producing counties cutting output.
And lastly, it is my opinion that the US has had but one president in my life time that was moral and spiritually connected with God and that is President Carter.
Bless him and when a moral crop of historians come along who are less impressed with killing than of tolerance, Jimmy Carter will get the credit due him.
