Jimmy Carter

Foxnews: Carter Shrugs Off Calls From U.S. Officials, Lawmakers to Drop Meeting With Hamas: "Former President Jimmy Carter said he feels 'quite at ease' about meeting Hamas militants over the objections of Washington because the Palestinian group is essential to a future peace with Israel."

Hamas is essential for the future peace process??!! That is complete BS, Hamas is committed to the destruction of the state of Israel. The only way the peace process can proceed is for the elimination of the military wing of Hamas. I will admit that Hamas does have a political wing which does a lot of good especially in the form of social programs, however, this political wing still spends large amounts of money and time indoctrinating future homicide bombers. Hamas is also well known for summary executions and let's not forget the constant barrage of Quassam rockets aimed at Israeli civilians. The Israelis do respond to the attacks but remember, if Hamas didn't start it, Israel wouldn't have to finish it. Uh-oh, I think that I have just admitted to being part of the Zionist conspiracy to rule the world.

Anyway......Carter isn't only in love with Hamas members who sacrifice their children for Allah or PURPOSELY target innocent civilians but he also has a soft spot for the murderous Chinese government.

"Carter, interviewed Saturday for ABC News' "This Week," airing Sunday, also said he would OPPOSE a U.S. Olympic boycott and HOPES ALL COUNTRIES WILL JOIN (both emphases mine) in the Beijing games."

I do agree with the many that claim that a boycott of the the opening ceremonies will be nothing more that symbolism. The world should not attend at all. How the IOC decided to "reward" China with the Olympics is still as perplexing to me as quantum physics. However, the world is allowing the Chinese government to commit murder, allowing genocide in Darfur, and stood by during the genocide in Rwanda. Why start doing anything now?

At least Carter admits there are crimes against humanity occurring in the Sudan. Of course, he refuses to use the word "genocide" to describe the killings in Darfur. Maybe we'll need 1 million to be slaughter before we can use the word genocide. Apparently 200,000 killed is not enough for Carter.
