President Peanut is there to "monitor" the Pali election of course. He gets his kicks out of bestowing the blessings of the West (so to speak) on tinhorn dictators and terrorists.
If Carter wasn't such a blithering idiot, I wouldn't mind him interjecting himself into these situations, IF he were asked by the sitting president to do so.
Carter has appointed himself the U.S. diplomat dejur a number of times, almost entirely to the detriment of our national interests.
North Korea is a nation, that if it were a person, might fit the profile for treatment with Prozac. It starves it's citizens to the point of death, spending untold funds on it's military. Yet nobody on the planet has designs on it's territory.
Carter's mismanagement the it's nuclear development program problem, created a situation where a nation that with it's profile, can now aim nukes at the U.S., and just as problematic, it's neighbors.
By doing what he did, Carter created a situation where peaceful nations in the region, were almost forced into developing programs of their own.
The creation of Carter's "Carter Center for World Affairs" (or some such), compares rather will to a tobacco company setting up a 'dangers of smoking' site. Both have axes to grind. Both are searching for some respect. Neither should be gifted with any.
