Jimmy Carter blames Bush for anti-American sentiment and worldwide terror.

GENEVA, Switzerland, Dec. 1 (UPI) -- Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter spoke during the Geneva Accord ceremony Monday in Switzerland, criticizing both the Israeli and American governments.

The Jerusalem Post said Carter, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, blamed President George W. Bush for anti-American sentiment and worldwide terror.

1. Carter is correct once again...and courageous.

Someone in this country has the guts to tell the truth and to face both the US and Israel without blinking.

4. On the MeetThe Press a BBC reporter said Bush is hated in Europe

and most Europeans are keeping up with the race for the Democratic nomination to see just who will replace the Chimperor. (she didn't say "chimperor").

5. I need to read the article but blaming Bush for worldwise terror is dumb

it existed before he took office. I really doubt Carter would be dumb enough to say that.

Just because I disagree with someones politics voraciously doesn't allow me to unfairly assign blame

6. By opening a Pandora's box in Iraq, squandering our good will after 9/11

and telling the World Court and U.N. to stick it, a case could be made.

Didn't read the story yet myself, but Carter must have been speaking metaphorically.

7. did Carter clear that remark by Brzezinski?

I don't similarly recognize the concept of "worldwide terror" personally, but as far as the definitions of others go, the general tendency at work in what is referred to by propagandists as "worldwide terror" was first courted and enriched by Carter & Brzezinski..
