Jimmy Carter's off base

Can't somebody find Jimmy Carter a rest home?

Carter 's latest headline pontifications are to admonish America for its lack of empathy for that warm and fuzzy social club known as Hamas.

Like those who say "Mussolini made the trains run on time" and "Hitler was very good to his mother," the radical left still claims that "Hamas does good things" and speaks about them as if they are the Elks Club or the Optimists.

I'm not sure if the press reports Carter's ravings anymore so much because he is a former president or because they can't believe what comes out of his mouth, and thus it entertains the reader on the level of a freak side show.

I too have problems with the idea of any homeland predicated on an ethnicity; however, Carter appears to have no qualms when a murderer in a keffiyeh calls the entire Middle East "Moslem Land" or the slightest cognizance of the mitigating circumstances that caused those living in the Jewish homeland to be the first expelled from Arab homelands in which they had co-existed for thousands of years and then joined by their fellows who were driven there from every corner of the globe, making them the only true refugees in the Middle East.
