The unabashed naivete of this man never ceases to amaze me. He does have one redeeming value.....as a negative barometer. Do the opposite of what he recommends and chances are it will prove to be the right move.
Carter, who led an 85-member international observer team from around the world organized by the 'National Democratic Institute' in partnership with 'The Carter Center,' urged the international community to directly or indirectly fund the new Palestinian Government even though it will be led by an internationally-declared foreign terror organization.
Funding families of suicide bombers and diverting 100s of millions into Arafats private accounts tend to have that effect.

Oh, so all those pre-election political assasinations an dgeneral harrassment in the Gaza strip were just Hamas 'getting out the vote'?....what a dumbass.

Naiive? Is he really just a useful idiot? Seems more like his eyes are open and he prefers our enemies....

We shouldn't give them a damn thing. Let the Arabs take care of them if they want to. Anything we give these people is likely to be used to purchase weapons or free up other funds to purchase weapons.

If Jimmah Critter wants hamas to have $$$, let him give them his. Hopefully, the US State Department remembers we don't support terrorist groups.

Great opportunity for the Libs/left to personally open their wallets!
Conservatives do it all time - without any fanfare of PR for their/our causes.
You could have something like a LiveAid concert in GAZA! Carter can MC - think of all the bands and celebrites available! and don't forget to flaunt all those leftist social values (and skin) to a hugh audience of traditional and extremist muslims! Now I would pay good money to get PPV to see this live!

You knwo I could have sworn Jimmah was on morning edition saying if Hamas held executive branch offices it would in fact be unlawful to support them backing Bluto's post above. As I understand theis process they will get to pick the new Prime Minister and other ministers all executive positions. So even if the top executive is still fatah it seems to me that would be enough. I expect he will resign as these types of Democratic arrangements also allow "No Confidence Votes". If they can I would expect Hamas to go after Abbas if he stays.

I hope Carter soon meets the assassin he so richly deserved while in office, but fate was not kind enough to supply. I would die a happy man if I could just see his head explode on live TV.

Maxie
Advocating the assasination or welcoming it of a former (or current) President of the United States is "poor form" - even if the guy your referring to is a pompous dick. Its also questionable content for a public blog which can lead to "misunderstandings".
