Title:Carter didn`t broker the Egypt deal & only provokes violence here

Anyone who studies the Egypt/Israel pact will conclude that Carter, like Clinton with the Jordan Accord, did NOTHING but show up for the signing. However, Carter (unlike the more modest Clinton) likes to talk it up and take credit for the treaty as if he`d engineered true peace in the region - what a fool he`s made of himself.

IF ANYTHING, Carter`s impact on the region is only to create more violence. As Carter supports violent fanatics like Hamas, he is actually perpetuating the Intifada and the Defensive War on the Intifada, thus more people are lying in their graves thanks to Jimmy Carter.

The truth is - they shouldn`t let him into the country AT ALL. With friends like him, who needs Hamas?
