You're Comparing Carter To Bush?
by Thomas CASSIDY
Rosner baselessly asserts that Carter is as loose with facts as the war criminal who lied us into a war with Iraq, asserting on March 6, 2003 that Iraq was not disarming even as Hans Blix was preparing to report to the U.N. and the world that Iraq was indeed disarming. Mr. Rosner, how do you justify equating Carter with the man who lied in order to justify an immoral war.

As for Rosner's assertion that Carter is equally afflicted as Bush with messianism, I again must ask Mr. Rosner to provide some evidence. Bush's messianism caused him to disregard the enormous evidence indicating the absence of WMD in Iraq in order to launch a catastrophic crusade that neither interdicted WMD nor brought democracy to Iraq. Where is Mr. Rosner's example of a similarly catastrophic messianic misadventure on the part of Carter?

I would advise Rosner to read the editorial of his own paper and acknowledge that Jimmy Carter has fared considerably better in his efforts to bring peace to the middle east than those who invariably advocate bombing and boycotts. For twerps like Rossner to dismiss the man who forged peace between Egypt and Israel is laughable - and ridiculous.
