Day 817- Did Carter Do Anything Right? | January 30, 2011
It’s probably not fair to blame Jimmy Carter for the current unrest in Egypt, but it may not be right to praise him for the peace accords that were not to be. Bush’s declarations of war lasted longer than most of the peace accords other presidents have tried in past administrations.
There are basically three options. You can ignore everything the rest of the world does. You can wait until your interests are at stake and let the bombs fly. Or you can do what we always do, try to influence the winners and losers with public diplomacy and private dealmaking.
Everybody is an armchair diplomat. If you think your personal vision of the world is going to fly, it would make an entertaining disaster for the rest of the world. In situations like Egypt, we learn that whatever we do, we will end up watching and waiting and hoping. You can’t control everything but you have to try to control something.

Carter gave us Islamic fundamentalism. obama will enable Islamic fundamentlim in spades. It is, after all, who and what he is, and one of the main goals the NWO has set him up to implement.
