Carter was speaking on his return from a visit with three other retired world leaders to Pyongyang, a mission aimed at easing high inter-Korean tensions, assessing food shortages and encouraging nuclear disarmament.
The ex-leaders said the shortages amount to a crisis, and Carter accused the US and South Korea of a "human rights violation" for, in his view, withholding food aid from the North for political reasons.
Sometimes I simply want to weep when I remember that he was once our president and not just a prominent ANSWER state coordinator back in the day, or something.
I've often written that while I am no fan of President Obama, he has done a number of things right on national security policy that are important (funny enough, by continuing Bush policies). If you think things can't get worse than having President Obama in charge, contemplate Jimmy Carter. He's simply a revolting man who sides with any anti-American thug dictator over the country he once (mis)governed.
With all due disrespect, eff him and the three dwarfs he rode in with to participate in Kim Jong-Il's little propaganda puppet show.
