Jimmy Carter Trying to Run His Own Foreign Policy

Jimmy Carter is rapidly approaching the point where he ceases to be an eccentric old man and starts being a traitor (from Special Report):

Jimmy Carter is siding with countries identified by the State Department for human rights violations — when it comes to the United Nations' proposal to overhaul its Human Rights Commission. Carter told the Council on Foreign Relations that he promised Pakistan, Egypt and Cuba that "the United States was not going to dominate all the other nations of the world in the Human Rights council."

The former president says he called Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to complain that the U.S. insistence on keeping rights abusers off the panel "subverted" his promise. Carter now says, "My hope is that when the vote is taken, the other members will outvote the United States."

Why would Condi Rice even take this guy's call? Carter needs to be confined to a home somewhere where he can regale himself with all his private fantasies of a socialist world without bothering the rest of us.
