    Carter is the only one who could do this! Let's give him a great hand

    The problem as I see it is that neither side wants peace. The Palestinians keep shooting rockets into Israel and Israel keeps building settlements in Palestinian areas. Every time they even come close to peace one side or both do something to keep it from happening.

    Carter did do the right thing by at least meeting with Hamas. You won't ever solve anything by not talking.

    Good for Carter. He is promoting peace. I hope he is not deterred by those who want war and will criticize his actions in promoting peace.

    At least he talked instead showing hatred. Massive economic help to the region in building housing, schools, hospitals and other infrastructure will 'guide' these people away from hatred and violence.

    Right now, most of these people have nothing to live for, which is the main reason they resort to violence and self immolation.

    Keep your friends but talk to people who you believe are enemies.

    I'm not holding my breath. There is a great likelihood that one or the other party will simply throw a monkey wrench into any peace effort believing they can win more by business as usual. But it just could happen, and if it does, all those who slammed carter should be ashamed of themselves. But they won't.

      He is a fool. So are you if you really think you can talk reasonably with people whose religion allows them to lie under these conditions and whose avowed aim is to kill all Jews.

        I see plenty of possibility for good to come out of Carter's efforts with absolutely no down side.

        None of those who have belittled Carters efforts in the above posts have suggested a down side.

        So, folks, what's the hate Carter thing? Why dismiss possible progress with a silly comment such as "senile old fool" or "virulent anti-semite"?

        zuhri..a hamas spokesman , has already said "we appreciate the comments of pres carter but this doesnt mean that hamas will accept the results of any referendum"..this is the sort of idiotic diplomacy that jimma used to produce the middle east we have today..

        the down side is that now in all of the "arab street" hamas now has the golden seal of approval from the great american president..he has given them the PR and resolve to continue their campaign to destroy isreal..thats a negative in my book

        Hamas is too arrogant & too psycho to accept Israel. They never will. Carter is just wishful thinking. Carter is unrealistic & naive. I'm sure the Palestinians were laughing at him behind his back just like the Soviets did when he was president. Now if Carter pulls this off and makes significant progress then more power to him. But I'm sure he's just making a fool out of himself again.

        "The ex-president confessed to having had limited experience with enraged rabbits. He was unable to reach a definite conclusion about its state of mind. What was obvious, however, was that this large, wet animal, making strange hissing noises and gnashing its teeth, was intent upon climbing into the Presidential boat."

        Seems to me that he made peace with the rabbit with an oar upside its head.

        Who remembers this:

        Solving the Korean Stalemate, One Step at a Time

        By JIMMY CARTER

        Published: October 11, 2006

        Responding to an invitation from President Kim Il-sung of North Korea, and with the approval of President Bill Clinton, I went to Pyongyang and negotiated an agreement under which North Korea would cease its nuclear program at Yongbyon and permit inspectors from the atomic agency to return to the site to assure that the spent fuel was not reprocessed.

        "Just hours after former President Jimmy Carter trumpeted Hamas' agreement to let Israel 'live as a neighbor,' the same terrorist leader he met with face-to-face vowed not to recognize the Jewish state."

        Not only is Carter a "senile old fool" and a "virulent anti-semite", he's also smoking crack.

        "Hamas political leader Khaled Mashaal talks to reporters at a press conference Monday in Damascus, Syria, where he offered Israel a truce."

        http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24235665

        A 10 year truce. Much better than what we have today. At least the man is trying SOMETHING. Im amazed at how many people shoot down someone who is actively working towards peace Shouldnt that be a goal for all of us, or are we too mired in our war-loving culture?

        Whether it happens or not, I praise the man for at least trying!

        Yawn, I'm so over this issue. My whole life it's the same thing.

        Ultimatly, they're 2 siblings always arguing and bickering.

        I know people are dying, but I don't think there's a solution that anyone from the outside, no matter how well intentioned, can make stick.

          Ditto on the senile old fool. Carter didn't make a mistake when he said Hamas said they would accept Israel, it was no mistake, he just lied. He has no grip on reality and that is what he wanted Hamas to say so he just acted like it was true. That is what happens to senile old fools who have no grip on reality they can believe what they want to believe. They shouldn't let him back into this country.

            I liked the post by "damnliberals". Not that I agree, but he started a conversation on the subject. It's funny though because it seems like most posts here refer to the others, or blame someone else. People are either referring to "damn liberals" or "christian conservatives", "neo-cons", or whatever ever else is the chosen phrase to assign a negative context to for the moment. I like hearing people's opinions, but sometimes it just feels like your watching a ping-pong match... not necessarily a discussion.

              It seems that only Jews get a pass on racism in today's world.

                If we were smart we'd align with the Arabs anyway. They have all the oil. The Jews have nothing that we need.
