Just can’t get it out of his system, I guess; he simply must find the worst anti-human tyranny in the world and then say we’re being the bad guys – from Hot Air:
Via Greg Hengler, why would an American cap a three-day visit to Kim Jong-Il’s national gulag by accusing the U.S. of human rights violations? Well, much like Superman, Carter’s more a “citizen of the world” now than part of the country he used to lead. In fact, he wasn’t there on behalf of the State Department but as part of a delegation from “The Elders,” an elite team of ex-statesmen who travel the world sharing the sort of wisdom that’s made “Jimmy Carter” synonymous with successful foreign policy ideas here at home…
The crux of Carter’s argument seems to be that if a horrific dictatorship is starving its own people, the United States is at fault. This is the same logic used by Carter to usher the Mullahs in to Tehran. Either that, or Carter is still smarting over the fact that we kicked him out in 1980 and this is his on-going revenge.
