I've Been Thinking:

Jimmy Carter is at it again.

Yesterday he touched down in Beirut, Lebanon and announced that he would meet with Hezbollah and any other party interested in talking to him.
In April he met with Hamas leaders in Damascus including Khaled Mashaal the politburo chief.

Carter quoted Hezbollah leadership saying that they would not meet with any US president or any former president. Except for him.
It is as if the terrorists have more principles than the former president from Plains, GA.
US policy is very clear. Terror organizations are not to be elevated to a level of diplomatic exchange.

Carter is not just violating the tenets of US policy he is flirting with danger ... a danger far more serious than anything he is used to. Validating and publicly accepting Hezbollah legitimizes their murderous acts.

Forget for a moment Israeli/Hezbollah conflicts. The US has its own score to settle with Hezbollah. In 1983 it was Hezbollah that bombed the US Marine barrack in Beirut murdering 241 Americans and wounding many more.

Carter needs to be checked, he needs to be tethered, Carter needs to be muzzled.
