Pariah Diplomacy

(Since the MSM will not report accurately on the story, here it is told by the ex-president, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and the man who brokered the lasting peace accord between Israel and Egypt. “After leaving office, Carter founded an institute to promote global health, democracy and human rights.

I was just drinking my coffee, minding my own business, rifling through the 16,000 stories about Billy Ray Cyrus’ kid’s picture (or some such mindless drivel like that), trying to find some real news (tuff to do these days) and I stumbled across a video on MSNBC from Countdown.
