Re: Re: Jimmy Carter, Nobel Peace Prize Winner
Carter has been up for the Peace Prize many times. Comments from the chairmen were representative of the committee. Carter won this time, in part, because of the George Jr militancy and the resulting instabilities George Jr has created throughout the world. George Jr has perverted the American position within the world that severely.
That was the overall opinion of the prize committe and not just one man. However, even worse, the committee's general opinion is correct - disturbingly correct. After all, many in the George Jr administration even advocated use of force over a silly spy plane incident with China. It has personally seen to the destruction of the Oslo Accords - which the Norwegian foreign minister was warning of (in terse words) even before Sharon attacked the occupied territories. We return to deficiet spending mostly because America needs more military - even though our military is larger than something like the next five countries combined.
Undertoad hyperlinked a Radio Free Europe thesis that basically notes same problem. We have too much military and now a President and advisors that feels compelled to 'use it or loose it'. It could be said that George Jr got the Nobel Prize for Carter. Carter should now be greatful to George Jr. Will not happen.
