Carter presents the alternaqtive to blindly supporting Israel and that's a good thing - we need to hear all sides of the issues.

I agree that Carter has continue to represent our country well....as much as a FORMER president as any of them do. It's a sign of a true leader to continue to work towards peace even after your elected job is over.
