Great history recap
I used to think Carter was just naive but history shows him to be proud pious vain and arrogant - a weak man who served as a useful tool for evil in exchange for moments of adulation here and there

Carter failed in Iran and in NK. The Dems like these agreements that just kick the can down the road. The agreement is more important than the results.

I just heard Fox contributor, Gillian Turner, a former NSC member under Bush and Obama, say that the past 25 years of failed negotiations was really a good thing. According to her, it is far better to negotiate than be confrontational.

It is this kind of stupidity that has made NK a nuclear power and a country to emulate by other Third World dictatorships. Get a nuclear weapon and the US will not mess with you or interfere in your domestic affairs.

What we have done is make the problem worse rather than nipping it in the bud. The Israelis took out the Iraqi and Syrian nascent nuclear facilities in the very early stages.
