Wherever there is a tyrannical government in trouble, you’ll find Jimmy Carter there to defend them. Case in point, his op-ed on behalf of North Korea, published Wednesday in the Post. It begins:
No one can completely understand the motivations of the North Koreans, but it is entirely possible that their recent revelation of their uranium enrichment centrifuges and Pyongyang’s shelling of a South Korean island Tuesday are designed to remind the world that they deserve respect in negotiations that will shape their future.
Every word of this paragraph is false, willfully ignorant or humiliatingly stupid. Take your pick. For starters, the motivations of the North Koreans are perfectly transparent. They run a backwards communist dictatorship which survives by starving its people, counterfeiting US $100 bills, and saber rattling until we agree to bail them out for a few more years. So the fact that they are once again threatening nuclear enrichment and war against the south is the most predictable course of events imaginable.

I assume Carter’s comments are in the context of the recent attack. Perhaps I’m wrong.
