	President Jimmy Carter \| BustedHalo.com
		Carter believes the sort of fundamentalism that is currently in vogue in American politics—especially with regard to foreign policy—has created a crisis in which the United States has isolated itself from the world community and our moral credibility and leadership around the globe is dangerously low.
		President Carter, now 81, was on the West Coast portion of a publicity tour for his book when he called early one morning just before Thanksgiving to speak with BustedHalo.
		President, you came into office in the mid-70s’ after a very divisive time and your presidency was looked upon as a breath of fresh air in America after the scandals of Watergate.

	PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER
		PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER: Well, I had an interest in the Middle East from the time I was much younger, and then when I was Governor I went to the Middle East to travel around - that was in 1972.
		During my campaign for president, I made it clear to the American people, and I guess to the warriors who would listen, that when I became the leader of this country, that I would initiate the strongest possible move to bring peace to the Middle East.
		So I was very convinced before I became President that basic human rights, equality of opportunity, the end of abuse by governments of their people, was a basic principle on which the United States should be an acknowledged champion.

	Jay Nordlinger's Impromptus on National Review Online
		Carter’s op-ed piece for the New York Times last month — April 21 — was a nasty piece of work, an apologia for Arafat (despite a pro forma and unconvincing attempt at “balance”) and a mendacious attack on Sharon and Israel.
		Carter also forgets the annoying little detail that Israel is a democracy, and that the people of that country democratically elected Sharon their prime minister.
		Carter said that “ill-informed commentators in both countries have cast the other side as a villain and have even forecast inevitable confrontation between the two nations.” You see the exquisite moral equivalence between a giant and repressive Communist state and the American republic.

		Carter: There's no doubt that this administration has made a radical and unpressured departure from the basic policies of all previous administrations including those of both Republican and Democratic presidents.
		Carter: The fundamentalists believe they have a unique relationship with God, and that they and their ideas are God's ideas and God's premises on the particular issue.
		Carter: Unfortunately, after Sept. 11, there was an outburst in America of intense suffering and patriotism, and the Bush administration was very shrewd and effective in painting anyone who disagreed with the policies as unpatriotic or even traitorous.

		His father, Earl Carter, was a successful farmer, and the unquestioned authority to his children and the sharecropping laborers who worked his land.
		But Carter's ambition soon surfaced again, and on his 38th birthday in 1962 he announced to a surprised Rosalynn that he planned to run for a seat in the state senate, a position Earl Carter had held briefly before his death.
		Carter also ran a tough populist campaign against the liberal, urbane Sanders, whom he called "Cufflinks Carl." "He wanted to appeal to the large middle class, blue collar type, predominantly white, and most of these people are going to be segregationists," says historian E. Stanly Godbold.

	Censure Jimmy Carter
		Carter and his wife founded the Carter Center and their son, Chip, serves as vice president.
		The ex-President is overtly undercutting the current President's policy of insisting on regime change in Cuba and the liberation of the long-suffering people of that island as a precondition to normalizing economic and political relations between the two countries.
		So Carter is not only claiming that a primitive, brutal dictatorship has a "superb" military technology, but actually trying to scare the South Koreans (who are already acting, probably out of fear, as virtually a puppet of the North Korean regime).

	President Jimmy Carter and the "killer rabbit" - the true story, with the picture
		This seemingly trivial event was seized upon by the press and became a sort of Rorschach test of the Carter presidency: reporters and commentators saw in this story whatever they wanted to see in Carter's administration.

		The President was repeatedly asked to explain his behavior at town hall meetings, press conferences, and meetings with editors.
