Carter's Peace Prize

Five years ago to President Jimmy Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize. The award was given with this statement:

"for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development."

The key accomplishment being the mediation of peace talks between Egypt and Israel. Later, through the Carter Center, established in 1982, Carter has worked to promote democracy and fair voting practices in developing nations.

• The lofty Nobel Peace Prize has also been awarded to Yasser Arafat. Arafat, who headed the terrorist group Palestine Liberation Organization, and reportedly, died from AIDS. For this the award seems, maybe, politically applied.
• For their participation in the peace talks, Anwar Sadat and Menachim Begin were both, separately assassinated. For their bravery, not Carter's, the award should have been awarded.
• On the principle side, Jumah has always been a man to stand up for good righteous causes. His conflicts and failures grow from the inability to appear competent.
• Fifteen years ago, President Carter gave a commencement speech at Emory University in Atlanta. Going in, the chance to be in the audience was a privilege. Nearly the entire speech was a diatribe on the failures of the Reagan administration, hatred was dripping from every phrase. Historical events in Eastern Europe proved Reagan's philosophical approach to be accurate. By the time the speech was over, so was any respect for ex-president.
