He was pretty unlucky and he had that dimwitted brother who was always in the news.
He is a good man.
He was responsible for the Camp David Accord, which seemed pretty amazing, to me, at the time.

Yeah, no peace, but just getting Egypt and Isreal in the same room talking was amazing.
I am sorry to hear that Carter has cancer. I expect that the public part of his illness and death will be with dignity.
Like fusion power, peace in the Middle East is dream of the future and always will be. It will continue to generate Nobel Peace Prizes for generations to come.
I have wondered (to myself) what would happen if the U. S. completely withdrew from the middle east, and had no contact, for a generation, what would happen? I mean completely ignore them, no aid, no trade, no communication, no Americans there at all, no matter what happens. I am so sick of all the sides in all the countries involved. This has nothing to do with Carter, just a personal rant.

Re: Peace in the Middle East
I don't know what any of this has to do with Jimmy Carter.
I have not heard anything Obama says about Isreal. I don't see that I should be obligated to spend any of my tax dollars on Isreal.

When Carter was in office I can remember being pretty critical of him. Since his presidency ended I have come to admire him a lot.
I especially like his criticism of the so-called Christians in Congress who cut off funding for food and the basic necessities for the poor and children.
I love it when he makes heads spin on Fox. He has not been afraid to voice his criticisms of those in office now.
