Jimmy Carter Meets with Hamas


Tempers flare and accusations are hurled as Jimmy Carter makes his much publicized visit to the Middle East to meet with Hamas . Sen. Barack Obama campaigning in Pennsylvania commented " We must not negotiate with a terrorist group intent on Israels destruction . We should only sit down with Hamas if they renounce terrorism , recognize Israels right to exist and abide by past agreements . Hamas is not a state . Hamas is a terrorist organization ." Sen. Obama made this statement after telling a group of Jewish leaders that he has an " unshakable commitment " to help defend Israel from its " bitter enemies . " Both Democratic candidates referred to Caters trip as naive . Who knows Jimmy Carter might get another Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts . I'm sure that the Hamas leadership will not mind the visit , after all look what Carters visit to North Korea produced .
