He [Carter] recognized Arafat as a legitimate political leader. How has that worked thus far?
Arafat was the leader of an organization (the Palestine Liberaion Organization [the PLO]) that had traits like the Democrat party, only on the West Bank and Gaza.
When the going got tough, it just let the PLO die out and other names take prominence. Today we have Hezbollah and Hamas.
The Democrats got nailed for their treachery so bad that the term Liberal had to fade away and Progressive took it’s place.
Problems with the border, just rename the INS to ICE and or whatever the fancy of the day is.
Carter as you know, is a major dingbat. He is the poster child for the White Bread boy that is a danger to himself and anyone in his vicinity, just lurching through life making one ignorant mistake after another.
Guys like him are adopted by power structures because they know they can manipulate them. Carter made it to governor and president. Gore, Kerry, even Obama are examples of idiots that get a power structure behind them, and screw up things massively.
Gore was the poster boy for global warming. Kerry was the poster boy for evil US armed forces. He’s now screwing up international relations around the world. Good luck patching up the damage. And then Obama the destroyer. These pawns do their dirty work. Then they lumber off into the future, making statements so idiotic that even those who used to support them marvel at the stupidity.
