Good Grief! He's at it again. What is the attraction between Jimmy Carter and terrorists? Doesn't he remember what the 'wonderful' new government of Iran did to the US Diplomats as soon as the mullahs took charge. Wikipedia defines The Logan Act as follows:
"The Logan Act is a United States federal law that forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. It was passed in 1799 and last amended in 1994. Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, punishable under federal law with imprisonment of up to three years."
According to Power Line Blog, Jimmy Carter met with Bashar Assad of Syria on Saturday. He is quoted as saying:
"I don't have any doubt that the situation will improve between the United States and Syria after we have a new president. It's my hope that we can also see full diplomatic relations and friendship restored between Damascus and Washington at an early day in the new year."
He also stated, "You can't expect genuine peace between Israel and any of its neighbors until it has peace with all of its neighbors."
Does this man not realize that many of Israel's neighbors want to destroy the country and drive its people into the sea? The prediction at Power Line is that once Jimmy Carter's stupid statements are embarrassing a Democrat administration rather than a Republican one, the Democrats will find a way to get him off the stage.
The work the Carters have done for Habitat for Humanity is admirable, but Jimmy Carter's freelance diplomacy since leaving the White House is an embarrassment to himself and his country. The man is either totally naive or incredibly stupid. He is also totally blind to his own prejudice against the nation of Israel.
