And the fact is, the events speak for themselves. Carter travels the world standing up for dictators.
But President Bush... standing up for freedom... < sound of crickets >...
[It’s been awhile since the events of Honduras took place. Are you waiting for Bush to go down there? Don’t hold your breath.]
Nice thread hijack, there. Please get lost.
Personally, I think Carter is out of line in many of his trips and I don't think - to be consistent - that Bush has any business inserting himself into these situations unless specifically asked to by the current POTUS.
Since that's not likely to happen any time soon I think Bush's silence is the appropriate behavior during 0bama's presidency. After that maybe, when appropriate, Bush can stretch his wings and get involved like Clinton is.
Bill Clinton, as much as I dislike him, has handled himself professionally since leaving office (at least as it regards this specific issue. Please don't misunderstand my limited approval here.)
