DOV ,   NY USA   (09.20.07)
why give any credence to this certified antisemite? if he thinks we should wait until Iran becomes militarily equal or superior to Israel, we do not need further proof he hates Jews. in regards to his book: why Israel is doing to this to so called palestionians? Because unlike blacks in south africa who never threatened whites with extermination we have faced this threat every single day. Carter should be discarded in the dust bin of history as a failed leader. and hater of Jews.
2. How could he know?
Christy ,   Boston, US   (09.20.07)
This man is no longer the president & isn't privy to intelligence reports. How could he possibly know that what he states is true?!

David ,   Richmond VA.   (09.20.07)
You were a pathetic excuse as a president . Of course that is only meant to be provactive even though it true . You created the Iranian problem you have no understanding of the middle east. just but out you are not helpful to America Isreal or even Iran. Of course not to be Inflamatory.

Saudi's give his Carter Center for Peace hugh money as donations. Bin Laden's family does also. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com/
7. There he goes again
David Powell ,   Everett, Wa. USA   (09.20.07)
Coming from a man who brought about the Islamization of Iran that brought on the capture of the American embassy resulting in taking of 52 hostages for 444 days cannot be taken seriously. He is an absolute idiot and will go down in history of one of our worst presidents.
8. The "Godfather of Terror" Speaks
DK ,   la   (09.20.07)
Thanks to "Jimmuh" the Persian people lost their beautiful country to 12 chubby old men in soiled Armani robes and one loudmouth genocidal punk dressed poorly as a teacher. Then he's off to Venezuela to rig elections for the latino Mussolini Chavez, or did I forget his indifference to a million or so Cambodians murdered -you fill-in the ME atrocities he helped facilitate, the list is too long. This pompous,arrogant fool should be confined to his peanut farm and made to wear panties on his head.for the rest of his life Don't worry about Iran, they haven't even mouinted their nukes on their missles yet says Ol' Jimmuh-A walking American disaster.Atleast his beer-drinking, drunk driving, foul-mouthed brother Billy had honor.

when he was president and now too. I guess it's true a leopard doesn't change its' spots.

Stewart ,   USA   (09.20.07)
tegic inteligence, is it any wonder that only students at his own school bother to here him speak. I wonder if any of them know how inacurate his books are? Carter should retire to Cuba with his buddy Fidel. There he can sleep peacefully like he did the night of the failed US commando attack on Iran when he should have been up monitoring everything like the Israeli prime minister and cabinet was during Entebe. Jimmy's a peanut brain when it comes to reality.
12. 1979 USA weakness... Iran.. May it never, ever happen again!
freedom ,   canada   (09.20.07)
End of the lesson.
13. Wait until Iran is a serious threat before acting - Jimmy
redmiike ,   tel aviv and london   (09.20.07)
this failed president makes more of an ass of himself with every passing week! When did Iran ever talk of launching 1-2 missiles at Israel? Does Jimmy now have a memory problem too?
14. Mr Carter - Islamic Fundementalists commit suicide every day
rh ,   Modiin Israel   (09.20.07)
Who says wisdom comes with old age ?. It is time Mr Carter was put into a Beit Avot and new drugs be prescribed for his condition.
15. Wasn't Carter the guy who
Stan ,   JHB RSA   (09.20.07)
Wasn't Carter the guy who couldn't rescue American hostages (tried an aborted helicopter pile up) fron islamic facists and allowed the Sha to fall thereby releasing islamic jehad facism on the world ? On his watch!!! This guy sure has a BIG chip on his shoulder and I understand why.
16. Carter does not think
Esther ,   Ofarim, Israel   (09.20.07)
And that's the problem. He won't consider Iran a threat until the missiles have been launched. What an a$$
17. Carter not alone
joe ,   tel aviv   (09.20.07)
Carter is not the only fool. David Ochmanek a policy analyst with the RAND Corporation, said Iran could attack Israel with a few, but Israel could inflict greater damage on Iran. These idiots dont see the difference between huge Iran and tiny Israel which could be destroyed by a few missiles. Then again they do see the difference and just support genocide of the Jews.
18. I wasn't worried about Iran UNTIL Carter said not to worry -
Joe   (09.20.07)
Anything Jimmy Carter the bigotted imbecile says should be regarded with grave suspicion of being erroneous or an outright lie.
19. BottomLine::Peanut too old to understand Islamist's threats!
KMR ,   Middle East   (09.20.07)
20. All the more reason to worry.
Avraham ,   Netivot   (09.20.07)
21. Carter and his predictions
Marian ,   Israel   (09.20.07)
If Carter says it is not dangerous and Iran is no threat, you can bet the opposite is the case. His views are so off, you can almost always take the opposite of what he says to be the truth.
22. Carter is the Grandaddy of the islamic Revolution
Malcolm   (09.20.07)
Without him and his A-hole adviser Brizinski the world wouldn't be on the brink of war. But of course the "Ultra Liberal Born Again - Turn-The -Other - Cheek " was so damned concerned with human rights in Iran he threw out all international security concerns and let the ayatollahs come to power. In recognition for all his fine work to their cause, the Khomeini, Shia Sadism Style, took America hostage and humiliated us for 444 days on international TV.
23. "Ooops! I made a mistake!" ... is this what he will say?
Z Lando ,   Tekoa, Israel   (09.20.07)
Carter was never a stateman. He didn't understand the Iranian/Islamic threat in the 1970's and the "people" he likes to talk about voted him out. A country cannot take the threats from Iran as something we can live with, and "hope" that they won't do something evil. The sad truth is that there are a LOT of evil people on this planet.
24. Watch Terrorism Awareness Presentation
Tracy W   (09.20.07)
rebutting Carter's assertions about Israel http://www.terrorismawareness.org/jimmy-carters-war/ It includes facts on Arab funding for Carter's projects. This link can also be found at the Frontpage Magazine website
25. As a baptist I am ashamed and embarrassed by you
Andrew ,   Melbourne, Australia   (09.20.07)
Dear Jimmy, do you think any of us who have read Dangerous Liasons by Andrew & Lesley Cockburn have forgotten that when you were president you said "when I am re-elected I am going to f*** the jews". Just shut up and go quietly into the night.
26. Carter: An ignorant antisemitic bigoted clown.
Semsem ,   New York, USA   (09.20.07)
So Catrter the antisemitic ignorany biased clown is now an expert on Iran. Iran can attack Israel through Lebanon / Hezbollah, and Syria / Gaza.
27. To Semsem 26. You Said My Thoughts
Dave Levy, Zionist ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (09.20.07)
The first thing that came to my mind when reading this article was, what about Syria and Lebanon, and, the entire Med. Sea? Carter the engineer President, should know better. Just as Iraq might hve shipped it's WMD to Syria prior to the war, Iran can do the same to Syria. Why the heck now? Syria has missiles too (Scuds) that can mount nuclear tips. Or Iran, could fire missiles from Hezi country, or the Med. Sea and Persian Gulf. It claims it has the ability. I don't doubt it. 1 to 2 missiles, oh come on. Would Israel retaliate, (what's left of it). sure. But by then, who cares? 50m Iranians might die in the exchange, but so what? Has Carter's brain gone dead? Doesn't he now the power of 30-100 kilo ton bombs. 25 can take out all of Iran. Israel has 400. But so what? If Iran takes over part of Iraq, that's even closer. You can bet, Iran would move missiles to Basra, once we leave. Carter is just plain stupid, and dangerous besides. That's the real problem. Let him sleep with the Cubans and No. Koreans, who he admires. This is absolute nonsense, despicable.
28. carter is a fool, one w/ a pathological obsession w/ Israel
dante ,   uk   (09.20.07)
29. Carter the prophet
leo solomon ,   nahariya ,israel   (09.20.07)
I am so comforted by Carter's belief that those six hundred missiles A MAD DINIJAD promised will not be heading our way soon.My one one concern is carter's impeccable record of getting things wrong !
30. Peanuts!
Talula ,   Israel   (09.20.07)
Jimmy Carter, forever the Moron. He always spoke a lot of drivel, but it seems that now he is into his 80s he seems to speak without engaging his brain first. Thank goodness we won't have to listen to the peanut farmer for much longer.
