Jimmy Carter is a "very, very good ex-President", says Martin Snapp in a S.F. Chronicle op-ed piece. Carter was a good President, Snapp said, because he lacked "a genial willingness to sacrifice others' lives for his own purposes.". Snapp continues, without irony, to remind us that Carter conducted his foreign policy around his belief that "we should lead our lives as though Christ were coming this afternoon." But that is precisely why Carter is such a dangerous fool. Most of us would prefer a foreign policy based on defending ourselves from the dangerous enemies who might be here tomorrow, on the off-chance that Christ doesn't show up in the meantime. It is Carter's naive and gullible "turn the other cheek" approach to brutal dictators that led him to help North Korea obtain its nuclear weapons.
Axis of Evil: North Korea and Iran are apparently collaborating on their nuclear weapons and missile programs.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein explains why she voted to support the President on Iraq, and demonstrates that she has a clue.
