Jimmy Carter Lays A Wreath at Arafat's Tomb By Julie Stahl CNSNews.com Jerusalem Bureau Chief April 15, 2008
Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter laid a wreath of red roses at the grave of Palestinian Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat during a visit to the West Bank City of Ramallah on Tuesday.
"He and Mrs. Carter and his son Jeff wanted to pay their respects to President Arafat," Carter's trip director Rick Jasculca told Cybercast News Service. But the former president didn't make any comments there, he said.
Dubbed the "godfather of terrorism," Arafat was linked to the deaths of two American diplomats in the Sudan in 1973 -- one of many terror acts laid at his feet. (See earlier story)
Twenty years later, Arafat became the first PLO leader to sign a peace agreement with an Israeli Prime Minister -- Yitzhak Rabin -- in 1993. He was considered Israel's peace partner (although many Israelis never believed it) until the beginning of the violent Palestinian uprising in September 2000. Arafat managed the terror war against Israel until his death in 2004.
U.S. officials have emphasized that Carter is visiting the Middle East as a private citizen and not as a representative of the U.S. government.
On Tuesday, the Israeli government refused Carter's request to visit Hamas-controlled Gaza. The former U.S. leader has angered the Israeli government over plans to meet Hamas's top leader, Khaled Mashaal, in Syria on Friday.

Thanks!!!
Dhimmi Jimmuh always brings to mind that line from Scripture: Woe to those that call good evil and evil good
His wife, a good Christian lady, must be agonizing over the utter delusion of this deceived man whose actions amazingly seem to have become more dangerous and despicable now than when he was President.
He also introduced a licensing regime so strict that no one has seen fit to build either a nuclear power plant or an oil refinery on American soil since.
The greatest president of the 21st century will be the one who does most to remove the traces of Carter.
buuuuuuuuuummmmp !!!
==Goes to show where Jimmys sympathies lie. But thats no surprise now, is it?
I try to remain as surprised as possible when it comes to America’s traitors. The alternative is to sink into apathy.
