Dhimmi Carter still can't get it into his head that appeasing terrorists only emboldens them.

Amir Taheri also has a column in the New York Post.... the most recent is JOHN KERRY'S FANTASY FRIEND. (Kerry and Chirac)

President Carter deserves to be in a prison for treason and sedition not paraded still on tv giving his opinion on foreign policy issues.The only consolation is he makes a horses ass(no offense to horses)of himself whenever he speaks.

Very insightful article.

I remember those terrible days of the Carter administration, when the mullahs pushed America's buttons at every turn. The US appeared helpless. It was a truly depressing day when we learned about the crashed rescue helicopters in the desert.

Ditto with the stream of attacks under Clinton. Nothing was done! Appeasement is the Dem's answer to foreign aggression. If Kerry's elected, it will be more of the same.

Yes, I DO blame Cartuh...........The WORST President of this century, maybe in the history of the US.

Hey, at least Klintoon rode the Republican Congress's stimulation of the economy into the sunset and his sexual exploits were generally good for a laugh. During Cartuh's tenure we were dead in the water economically and he was unexciting and downright depressing to boot.

What a jackass.

RIGHT ON:

911 is the SNOWBALL effect of Jimmy's peanut farmer Presidency.

WHICH President will have the balls to remove Iran's nuclear site - GUESS what country(s) (2 of them) the nucs will be used on!!!

Come on guess.

As great a president as Ronald Reagan was, I have never forgiven him for not avenging our Marines.

"..Ahmad Khomeini’s memoirs echo the surprise that his father, the ayatollah, showed, as the Carter administration behaved "like a headless chicken."..."

True, but funny. We really don't need to hear from Jimmah Carter any more.

"..The slogan “America cannot do a damn thing” became the basis of all strategies worked out by Islamist militant groups, including those that, for doctrinal or political reasons, were opposed to Khomeini.

That slogan was tested and proved right for almost a quarter of a century. Between Nov. 4, 1979 and Sept. 11, 2001 a total of 671 Americans were seized and held as hostages for varying lengths of time in several Muslim countries.

Almost a thousand Americans were killed, including 241 Marines who were blown up while asleep in Beirut in 1983.

For 22 years the United States, under presidents from both parties, behaved in exactly the way that Khomeini predicted. It took countless successive blows, including the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York, without decisive retaliation. That attitude invited, indeed encouraged, more attacks. The 9/11 tragedy was the denouement of the Nov. 4 attack on the US Embassy in Tehran..."

Also True, but not funny. There is a price for appeasement.

[Doctor Stochastic]

Carter’s envoy to the UN, a certain Andrew Young, described Khomeini as “a Twentieth Century saint”, and begged the ayatollah to show “magnanimity and compassion.”

Andrew Young is also co-author (Gary Hart the other) of the Patriot Act.

I read this book Terrorism and Democracy last year and it provides great insight into the profound weakness of Carter's administration. The author is Stansfield Turner, who was the director of the CIA during the Carter administration.

Pacifist does not even come close to describing Carter. And, unfortunately, I think John sKerry would be even worse.

Nov. 4th will be the 25th anniversary of the 1979 takeover of our embassy.

The war with Islam is 25 years old.

Dates are important to Bin Laden. Let's hope that Nov. 4th is not a new date for whatever his video signifies to be triggered.

And it would be just after the election.

I have always felt we should have dropped a rather large Nuclear Weapon in the Great Salt Desert south of Tehran just to get their attention, and inform the Tehran Government of a list of targets that would be eliminated over the next seven days. The first target would be a rather small military installation with minimal civilian population. The next day would be a larger one with more civilians population. Ground Zero for the seventh bomb should have been the American Embassy in Tehran, with the largest bomb in our arsenal.

What most people do not remember is that the Russian Embassy in Tehran was also taken over for a very brief time. The Russian Secretary of State Gromyko informed the Iranian government that the bombers were on the way. The Russian hostages were immediately released.

This is history that undoubtedly will never make it into American history books. The islamofascists have taken note: great democratic powers, if they elect a "worm" as head of state, can be pushed around and intimidated into all sorts of bizarre positions. Clearly they do not want to see GW Bush reelected and will do everything in their power to "unhorse" the president and replace him with the wuss from massachussetts.
