Carter meets Hamas

Bless his heart, but FORMER President Jimmy Carter just does not get that he's not president any more. Carter, despite State Department and Bush disapproval, has met with terrorist organization Hamas for the third time this week "to talk to a group no one in this country is willing to talk to". While Carter was close to achieving peace in the Middle East during his presidency, he seemingly forgets that his time as president has past and that the Middle East of the 1970s is "radically" different from the Middle East of today. Embracing such terrorist organizations by a former President of the United States only legitimizes Hamas and emboldens them to continue to carry out terrorist operations knowing that eventually the US will cave. Carter has done much during his post-presidency to rehabilitate a his image as a failed president, but such acts as meeting with terrorist organizations and rogue leaders only legitimizes their tactics.
