No Malaise

Jimmy Carter weighs in on the Arab-Israeli dispute (admittedly, an area that was not as disastrous as every other aspect of his Presidency). But as with so many other policy areas, the former Prez should really stick to building houses. His final two paragraphs illustrate why:

Despite the best efforts of President Bill Clinton, the final proposals put forward by Prime Minister Ehud Barak to the Palestinians in 2000 did not meet these basic terms.

The withdrawal of Israel from the occupied territories in exchange for full recognition and a guarantee of peace will, I believe, be acceptable to the Palestinians, other Arabs, a majority of Israelis and the international community. The only other choice is sustained and probably increasing violence in the Holy Land.

Jimmy continues to live in fantasy land. But what is to be expected from the only President in U.S. history to report being attacked by a rabbit?

Damnit, after writing this I remembered that I had planned a different response to future outbursts from the Sweater President: Just Say No To Malaise.

I'll try to remember that in the future.
