31. Carter go back to pick up peanuts..you are politicaly finish
(04.24.12)
32. President Carter
George ,   USA   (04.24.12)
If the world had more leaders like Carter it wouls be a much better place to live. The Israelies would have less to fear and their present enemies wouls have less to fear. All our children would be safer. We need leaders that are interested in peace. Not expansion.
33. As if survival was an academic issue
Yael Schlichting ,   Qiryat Motzkin   (04.24.12)
It is not the first time, that some Muslim leader threatened Israel with annihilation and history bitterly taught us, that we have to take these threats very serious! What an irony, that Carter is talking such rubbish just two days before Yom Ha'Atzmaut and only one day Yom Hazikaron.
34. Nobdy needs Carter's advice
DavidM ,   USA   (04.24.12)
Nobody needs or wants Jimmy Carter's advice. Thirty two years ago the American people ousted Carter in a landslide election. Since then he has traveled the world blaming America and Israel for his defeat. He is a bitter man who won't leave the stage.
35. Advice from Carter? That's a LAUGH!
(04.24.12)
After his HUGE FIASCO in Iran, let's put it this way: CARTER IS THE LAST PERSON ON EARTH TO GIVE ANYBODY ADVICE ON MILITARY OPS OR IRAN!
36. Carter... WHO?
(04.24.12)
37. Anything Carter touches is a "FAIL"!
(04.24.12)
1. The Israel-Egypt "peace": FAIL! 2. Freeing American hostages in Iran: FAIL! 3. Improving US standing in the world: FAIL! 4. Improving US Economy: FAIL! 5. Keeping his racist mouth shut: FAIL! I wonder how the heck he got elected!
38. If I were him, I'd STFU!
(04.24.12)
He has nothing to be proud of and his "expertise" on Iran is underlined by the botched rescue attempt of the American Embassy hostages! Who does this imbecile think he is to preach anybody on anything!
39. #32 George
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (04.24.12)
You would also have considered Arthur Neville Chamberlain to be a good politician.
40. Alzheimer's really is a tough condition
Brian ,   London   (04.24.12)
41. Who let the meshige Sarah B. out again?
David   (04.24.12)
42. YOUR GREY HAIR IS JUSTIFIABLE, GOD KEEP & PROTECT YOU.
LINDA ,   JERUSALEM   (04.24.12)
FOR THOSE WHO LOVE WAR, LET THEM WAIT TILL JESUS COME.
43. Carter is the last man to speak for benefit of Israel or
leo ,   usa   (04.24.12)
even US for that matter.
44. Carter the peanut brain
zionist forever   (04.24.12)
It doesn't take a genius to see that diplomacy with Iran doesn't work. The diplomatic games began in George Bushes second term and we are now going into Obama's fourth year. Its always the same game of: WE MAKE IRAN AN OFFER IRAN SAYS NO WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP OUR RIGHT TO URANIUM ENRICHMENT WE THREATEN SANCTIONS IRAN SAYS NOT SO QUICK WE WANT TO NEGOTIATE SOME MORE We talk, Iran defies, we threaten sanctions, Iran says no lets use diplomacy and all the while they continue to enrich the Uranium taking them one step closer to a nuke everyday. Jimmy the peanut should also remember if Iran does get nukes then Saudi Arabia, Turkey and possibly some other arab states will all develop their own nuclear weapons programs and pretty soon rather than being a nuclear free zone the Middle East will be one of the most concentrated nuclear zones in the world. Iran is also well on the way to developing missiles capable of hitting mainland America, I wonder what Jimmy will be saying when the ayatollahs announce not only do they have American UAVS but now they have the capability to nuke Washington. Whats the peanut going to do then, offer to broker a peace treaty between Iran & America or possibly nominate Ahmadinejad for the Nobel Peace Prize. The man is an idiot and should be ignored.
45. Carter's just worked so hard to bring tyranny to Iran
William ,   Israel   (04.24.12)
He doesn't want it disturbed until its fully baked and we all pay for it.
46. #32 - but in order for your theory to work
William ,   Israel   (04.24.12)
we need 100% Carters all over he world. That's over 200 Carters, with the same mentality and perspective. If you have just one crazy despot, the entire experiment is ruined because all the Carters in the world together would not be able to stave off racist violent non-western expansionism. Infact, it is this despot who will rule the world while 199 Carters apologize for him and try to make the case of why the world needs him. No thank you.
47. if defending against a nuclear holocaust
michael   (04.24.12)
is not yet justifiable in Carter's eyes. Well I think his definition of justifiable needs to be called into question.
48. the terrorist regime in Iran
eva goldschmidt ,   Heidelberg, Germany   (04.24.12)
is his political legacy. As the first openly anti-semitic US-President he must support anyone and any nation who is willing to destroy Israel and or kill Jews. He should finally leave the stage.
49. Mr. Peanut-head speaks...
Jake Stone ,   USA   (04.24.12)
...but, no one really listens to this useless old fart. He's like Bill Clinton: just won't go away into that dark night. Just maybe a lightening strike will do us all a favor and put him out of his anti-Semetic misery?! The clown is so pathetic! God bless, Israel!
50. Carter the vegetable
Brod ,   USA   (04.24.12)
This vegetable never tires to spew his anti-Israel venom. He wants Israel to be a sitting duck for the Ayatollahist nuke. Israel can tell him to go to Hell.
51. Carter makes a valid but obvious point
Tomek ,   Poland   (04.24.12)
Over the past 60 years, the US has been an aggressor in numerous places around the globe. The American military complex needs war to utilize the weaponry it produces. Besides, the American public in collective terms is very susceptible to pro-war propaganda, either because the propaganda machine over there is very efficient or the society as a whole is unable or unwilling to think critically. I am sure that if today the American military strategists decided that a war against Burundi was needed, within a month the American public could be made to believe that Burundi was an imminent danger to the US. It would not matter that most Americans could not find Burundi on the map. Carter has no political agenda. His opinions stem from his moral convictions. It is no surprise that war mongers around the globe deride him.
52. #51, Gavarich po'Russkie, Tomek?
The Prophetess ,   SC,USA   (04.24.12)
Tomek, your country makes such a tasty morsel sandwiched between Germany and Russia. How many times has Russia torn into Poland? And how many times has the AGGRESSIVE US MILITARY COMPLEX pulled Poland's nuts out of the fire? Study your history, then be thankful for the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines who continue to deflect Russia's expansionist desires. KAPUSTA!
53. Tell us the time has come
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (04.24.12)
Peanut brain has been wrong about everything that he has ever expressed any interest in. When that senile fool says anything - do the exact opposite and one cannot go wrong.
54. The Prophetess @ 52, to be historically correct
leo ,   usa   (04.24.12)
"How many times has Russia torn into Poland?" Actually, the lesser number of time than the other way around.
55. Carter once was humiliated by the mullahs
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (04.24.12)
and has become their obedient slave ever since then...MOST DISGUSTING !
56. #18. Carter WAS the worst...until Obama.
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.24.12)
#18. You make a very valid point. Carter WAS the worst U.S. President of the last 150 years. Than came Obama...
57. PEACE
JEFF ,   MIAMI/JERUSALEM   (04.24.12)
this disgusting fool is a prostitute for the muslims. i will wait for his death so I can piss on his grave
58. Thank you President Carter for the Holy Day cards over the
Rivkah   (04.24.12)
years. That is so kind for you and Roselynn to think of little people as well as great people in your greetings. Yes, it is best to avoid war with Iran if that is possible.
59. Nr 6. You err -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (04.24.12)
That Prophesy in Daniel is not about the US !!!. Arn.Sweden.
60. miserable old man
Shai ,   Ramat Gan   (04.24.12)
Carter, your imagination runs faster than your brain, shut up bastard!! the worst US president who removed from his throne after one term,you should find a nursing home in Tehran to play cards with Yatollahs and leave us alone, this way the peace will come through
