Sure, Jimmy Carter's self-righteousness, meanness, hypocrisy, and enormous ineffectiveness have made him one of America's biggest embarrassments. But Carter just keeps going further -- way past dimwit, way past demagogue. He has become an unadulterated danger to the interests of the United States and our allies.Carter's ballyhooed trip to meet with the Hamas terrorist leader Khaled Mashaal is but the latest sad example.
Tovah Lazaroff and Herb Keinon, in very measured tones, give the specifics in this Jerusalem Post story, including the fact that Israeli officials will not be meeting the former president. This brief note on JTA says a bit about how American Jewish leaders view Carter's "cowboy diplomacy," and his perennially "one-sided reading of the Arab-Israeli conflict." While this piece on OneNewsNow reports that John Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, says former President Jimmy Carter's upcoming meeting with the leader of Hamas will do "substantial damage" to U.S. Mideast policy.
