Jimmy Carter to North Korea on Mission to Free Imprisoned American

Someone needs to take his passport away before he does some real damage. The man is a loose cannon.

Jimmy Carter has had a long long life because he is a very wise man , I wish him the best for all the good that he keeps giving and giving ,as always he will have success in north korea !

dvdsn61...... I can't argue your assertion, and as you say, it is hard to make intelligence comparisons. I merely repeated what I have read more than once. Again, I voted for Reagan, and had large issues with Mr. Carters term. BUT also am not against giving a nod when due... So, Let's go with Jimmy Carter was a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, did his graduate work in reactor technology and nuclear physics, and served as senior officer of the pre-commissioning crew of the second nuclear submarine the Seawolf. So any way you cut it... No mental slouch to be sure... and will still have to "dumb-down" a whole bunch to deal with Kim Jong and HIS degree in lunacy.

""Ahhh"" We, have to some faith; some were.I give my problem's into the hands,of Jesus Christ in every breath you take is an gift from God through our Lord Jesus Christ.For with out him there well be no peace inside you.So peace and love to all on this web-site,,plus i have read quite a few comments to..Peace and love...Treat each other with respect...Just be greatul, and thingfull ,to each other with respect toward each other to.AMEN...

Jimmy Carter is too moral to be in politics. He does not get down and dirty. May he go in peace to N. Korea and have success. Come home safely with Gomes. God bless!

I didn't vote for Carter when he ran for President, but I have read any number of places that from a purely I.Q. standpoint he was very likely the smartest president this country ever had. That being said, I hope it doesn't hurt his chances in N. Korea... Mr. Carter is going to have to "dumb-down" considerably to talk to a complete mental void like Kim Jong.

I believe he's there to try and avoid an imminent N/S Korean war. A brave man to walk into the jaws of...N Korea. Aijalon Mahli may be a subtext or subterfuge or the only reason. I say, Go With God, Mr. President. So what if I'm pretty much an atheist? Jimmy Carter is a good person and a gentleman who deserves our (US people's) respect and thanks.

Last time Carter went to N. Korea. Clinton sent him in the mid-90's to negotiate for N. Korea to stop their nuclear weapons program. Carter gave them the equivalent of $2 billion dollars in exchange for a promise from N. Korea to stop. Less than two years later they threw the U.N. inspectors out and proclaimed they had advanced their nuclear weapons program. Kim recognizes weakness when he sees it. Wonder what he'll get in exchange this time?

I agree, history in the long run will be much kinder to Carter than today, or the past 30 yrs. - but it will be based on foreign policy initiatives. A very good, extremely honest, and particularly bright man. Domestic policy is a differnt thing. He was a man caught between factions, trying to move to the center, but being pulled from the left ...ultimately it pulled his presidency apart & he was attacked from the left for re-election (by Ted Kennedy), which split the part & assured a Reagan victory. He was blamed for many things beyond his control. Yep, enegy wise, he wanted gas prices to rise to European levels - to control consumption. Gas prices doubled in his breif term. Taxes rose - military was cut to dangerous levels. Ultimately I think this was wrong for America. He put us in a recession & it took Reagan 3 yrs. to get us back to affluency, and deficit spending to rebuild our military (which ultimately ruined the Soviet Union). I respect Carter, just think he was wrong for America. I read his memoirs recently - a good read. Reagan was also a dem, a 'JFK democrat', a conservative democrat (hard to find today) - he switched parties when the dems were hijacked by the left ...Carter was just too far left. I like the man in many ways, but it was good for his country that he lost re-election. Dr. G.

I have no personal beef with Jimmy Carter, and wish him luck in his endeavor. However, I do have to wonder why any idiot,American or otherwise, would wander into Iran or North Korea and think there won't be consequences.
