Comments on: Jimmy Carter Shouts Down Security In Sudan
Former U.S. President Angered After Being Blocked From Meeting With Ethnic African Refugees
- Who refuses to step into the Sudan because of his friends in the Oil profit ???? ---- Bush 43
Posted by j-whitman,
I thought the UN and the African Union were working on this. Hasn''t Colin Powell(SP?) been there trying to get the Sudan government to let in peace keepers.?
On 3 July 2004, the Government of the Sudan and the United Nations signed a Joint Communiqui on the occasion of the visit of the UN Secretary-General to Sudan (that visit was held between 29 June-3 July 2004).
The Joint Communiqui identified the commitments of the Government of the Sudan to resolve the Darfur crisis. It also contained the United Nations%u2019 commitment to assist in this matter.
In the Joint Communiqui, the two parties agreed to form a high level Joint Implementation Mechanism (JIM). The mandate of the JIM is to closely follow and appraise developments and periodically report on the progress in the implementation of the Joint Communiqui.
The JIM is co-chaired by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, for the Government of the Sudan , and by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) for the Sudan , for the United Nations and its partners.
There is an ongoing political process on Darfur, aimed at finding a peaceful solution to the fighting. The process is led by the African Union, and yielded positive results in November 2004, with the signing of Humanitarian and Security Protocols between the Government and the SLM/A and JEM. - Reply to this comment
- From what I know about Jimmy Carter I would say he was a mediocre persident at best. He has a great big heart (take homes for humanity for instance) and is probably a really nice guy. He did raise some ire with a book he wrote concerning Israel and Palistine but I won''t go there becuase he surely knows more about it than I. When he was president he let our military basically go to the dogs because he would not provide funding. If you remember president Reagan spent billions right off to bring the military back up to speed and then he went on to win the cold war. So based on all that I would say not a great president but a very good person.

- Lars008,,,,, The main plank in the Nazi Party was to attack liberals -
--- Adolph Hitler was a pure right-wing conservative bent on destroying liberalism by claiming to be a Christian protector of the people.
--- "The main plank in the Nationalist Socialist program is to abolish the liberalistic concept of the individual and the Marxist concept of humanity and to substitute for them the folk community, rooted in the soil and bound together by the bond of its common blood." -- Adolph Hitler - Reply to this comment
- I thought Reagan came along and fixed everything. Right?

Who Balanced the Budget?
Stephen Moore is director of fiscal policy studies at the Cato Institute.
The second effect of the Reagan years was to launch America into what is now widely regarded as a remarkable 15-year low-inflation, high-employment bull market (the Dow was at 800 in 1982, 8,000 today)--interrupted only mildly in the middle Bush years. These 15 years of prosperity were propelled by Reaganomics: lower tax rates, a long-run decline in inflation and interest rates (which also lowers tax rates), freer international trade and a strong dollar. Even with the anti-supply-side Bush and Clinton tax hikes, the top tax rate today of 40% is far below the towering 70% tax rate that disabled the economy in the 1970s. The end of the Cold War has created an international environment of peace and stability, nudging the economy into still higher gear in recent years.

The historical irony is that the person most responsible for deficit reduction gets very little attention in the national media. The president who deserves the most credit for the fast-approaching balanced budget we are now witnessing is not Bill Clinton. And the Republican who deserves the most credit is not Newt Gingrich. Rather, the politician whose long-run policies are most responsible for leading us to a potential balanced budget next year is Ronald Reagan. Yes, Reagan, the man vilified by Clinton for "tripling the national debt in the 1980s."
Reagan''s legacy affects us dramatically today in two ways. First, Reagan''s anti-Communist foreign policy and his military buildup hastened the disintegration of the Soviet Union. In the past eight years, America''s victory in the Cold War generated a half-trillion-dollar peace dividend. That peace dividend grows every year, and it fell like manna from heaven into President Clinton''s lap. The budget deficit is falling, not primarily because Clinton raised taxes and not primarily because the congressional Republicans committed themselves to a balanced budget, but because the defense budget is nearly $100 billion lower today than when the Berlin Wall came down.

- Jimmy Carter was in my opinion the best most honest president we ever had in my lifetime. At 82 he still tries to make this world a better place not kick back with his pension write a book. Yea Iran that was tough he didn''t want to put this nation at war and no matter they all came home safe there was no easy fixes outside of invasion. For some reason he doesn''t get the praise he deserves.

- Why are these people still crying about Carter as President? I thought Reagan came along and fixed everything. Right? Must be easier to keep crying about Carter than to face facts. It might not be possible to fix in our life time this mess Bush has made of the world.

Comical Carter DOES NOT fix problems!
Carter CREATES PROBLEMS!
Carter is trying to undo his Iranian debacle to this day.
Back then he was just a fool. Today, Carter is a SENILE & ARROGANT OLD FOOL who should be brushed aside! - Reply to this comment
- Let''s not forget the great job jimmy did in the 70''s. That was the one time in my life that I was sure my children would not be able to accomplish as much as their father and I. They were horrible times and the kick-off to the terrorist mess we''re in now. Carter is a hypocrite. Remember he sure liked yassar arafat, then again, so did clinton. (along with the chi coms)

But with regard to non-Muslims who are at war with the Muslims and do not have a peace treaty with the Muslims or are not living under Muslim rule, then Muslims are commanded to kill them, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

The atheist who does good deeds is worse than the one who kills his mother and takes care of dogs
What is the reason for people not believing in God being punished? I read that good deeds of such people will not be accepted. So if someone does all he can do to help people and be useful to the society, he will be punished nevertheless if he did not believe in God. But what exactly is the reason of punishing a good man for his atheism?

- That these people are still picking on Carter and living in blissful denial about the horrors of the current President is sad indeed. It doesn''t even matter who''s elected in ''08. Demorcrat or Republican. ANYBODY will do a better job than dumb dumb Bush. Even Carter would!

In 1954 several terrorist bombs were set off at the United States Information Agency offices in Cairo and Alexandria. An attempt .. failed when the bomb went off in the pocket of one of the perpetrators. That led to the discovery that the terrorists were Israeli spies bent on souring the warming relationship between Egypt and the United States... - Reply to this comment
