Do you think it is appropriate for a former U.S. President to be laying a wreath at the grave of a terrorist?

Not to mention embracing a member of Hamas?

Would we see more of this type of conduct if Obama were ever elected to office?


Embracing terrorist and assorted other enemies of America?

Do you think it is appropriate for a former U.S. President to be laying a wreath at the grave of a terrorist?
He is a member of the Anti-America party


What else would you expect
Reply:The embrace is a traditional form of greeting. If there is ever going to be any prospect of peace between Israel and the Palestinians, somebody is going to have to start talking, and that means normal greetings will take place. U.S. security is certainly at stake.





I have more problems with the wreath-laying at Arafat's grave. He was certainly involved in terrorism, including the murders of Israeli athletes during the 1972 Olympics. However, he was also certainly miscast as the roadblock to peace in the aftermath of the 2000 Camp David debacle, where U.S. incompetence and Israeli intransigence ended the peace process by trying to force acceptance of a fundamentally impossible "agreement."





I fail to see what this has to do with Senator Obama, unless you think that prominent Christians in the Democratic Party collectively favor terrorism.
Reply:I suppose you feel Isreal is an innocent victim of Hamas, huh? You know what the press feeds you, which amounts to nothing short of pro-Isreal cheerleading.





Have you read the part of the Constitution that advises us against foreign entanglements? Have you searched out the other side of the story? I'm not agreeing with terrorism by any stretch of your imagination, but please take the time to research the true facts.





And I'm undecided about the wreath laying. What if all that's needed to cease hostilities is for each side to move towards each other symbolically? Maybe showing respect is the right thing to do, maybe not. Time will tell.
Reply:Hmmmm:





This is a problem with the United States. The opinion of people in the United States is not always, and often in direct opposition to, the opinion of people in other nations.





Sure, it is obvious from the number of nations that approved of the Iraq War that the Iraq War had and has a majority of international support. At the same time the very public opinion of the French and German Governments were in opposition.





Most of the world does not consider Arafat a terrorist.





What is surprising is that Democrats accept the minority opinion on the Iraq War and the majority opinion on Arafat.
Reply:Aw, that's not right. I am shaken and appalled. For all his ineffectual term in office, Carter has always seemed to me a gracious and giving man with strong Christian beliefs. I cannot imagine him being a part of this charade. It hurts me because my belief in the man has been shattered.


It strikes me as odd, though, that people will beset Carter with ridicule but continue to uphold Obama, who has forged an intricate but alarmingly obvious connection and support of terrorist and fringe groups in the Middle East and South America.

UnAmerican, both. Traitorous, both.





We can't do anything about Carter. He is a private citizen, not claiming to represent our nation. We CAN do something about Obama and his bid to lead our nation. We need to stop him, and stop him now.
Reply:One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. It all depends on who's in charge.


How about the various insurgents sponsored by the USA in Central America over the years? To the average citizen in those countries, they were terrorists. To the Americans and the wealthy in those countries, they were freedom fighters.





I suggest you look a lot deeper than media sound bytes.
Reply:NO! Has he heard of FTD? They Should Revoke his Passport as a Private Citizen and give him to them. He Has No authority to Broker deals of any kind with hostiles for America as a spokesperson. Some of the current situation is His fault in the first place.
Reply:No, I don't think it is appropriate for a former president to do either of the things you mentioned. Obama was raised by his father, a practising radical Muslim. I believe that this would become regular if he were elected.
Reply:Traitor Carter not President Carter, We also have the Traitor of the House of Representatives Polosie(sp). The only one in the nation by constitutional law to speak on behave of the government of the USA is the President and the Appointed Ambassadors
Reply:He is helping the world to become more peaceful the way he believes. The way that I went about world peace just is not working out that well. Please do not criticize someone peaceful intentions, unless you are doing something for world peace.
Reply:Yawn. . . . .





What's Carter doing now????





Wake me up when somebody relevant does something worth discussing.





zzzzzzz . . . .
Reply:you're forgetting that the Hamas have been legally elected to positions of power, they have been legitimized by the people.
Reply:Like Bush embracing the Saudi Royals - the true enemy.
Reply:Carter is awful.
Reply:yeah, damn those terrorists: especially George Washington. How dare he attack British soldiers.
Reply:Carter is a traitor.
Reply:The Bush family has been in bed with the bin Laden family for decades. Why doesn't that bother you?
Reply:I think he's just trying to p*ss people off!
Reply:carter is a big traidor!
Reply:I think he is a truly clueless, senile old man. And the answer to your question is, No!!
