SPIEGEL Interview with Jimmy Carter:
"The US and Israel Stand Alone" :
Carter: There's no doubt that this administration has made a radical and unpressured departure from the basic policies of all previous administrations including those of both Republican and Democratic presidents.
SPIEGEL: For example?
Carter: Under all of its predecessors there was a commitment to peace instead of preemptive war. Our country always had a policy of not going to war unless our own security was directly threatened and now we have a new policy of going to war on a preemptive basis"
Jimmy did you happen to notice this particular threat to our security that was brought about by the short-sightedness of you and all your predecessors' foreign policy?:

What is the anticipated casualty threshold before we take preemptive measures to eliminate a threat before it eliminates us? How should we handle tyrants, like Saddam Hussein, that consider their nation at war with us ? If a state declares war on us, by firing on our aircraft on a daily basis for years is it prudent to ignore that declaration ? Is it prudent to ignore a declaration of war when a state seizes our embassy and holds its staff hostage for 444 days?
Also Mr. Carter I consider your 'peace at any cost' worldview the cause of islamofascism. You should have nipped this in the bud when you actually had the power to. What can be said of the moral character of a man who sees impending evil and does nothing ? I believe you've made a statement about that...
"Aggression unopposed becomes a contagious disease."
-- President Jimmy Carter --
Please, Citizen Carter, be like a good soldier... and... just... fade away.
