Jimmy Carter Adopts Another Dysfunctional Dictator
Mike Brownfield /
If countries were orphans and former presidents could adopt them, Jimmy Carter would have a foster home full of dysfunctional dictatorial states running amok under his care on a peach tree orchard in Georgia, all while he turns a blind eye to their terrifying antics.
His latest foray into the depths of North Korea last week is yet another striking example of his flagrant ignorance of the world we live in, as The Heritage Foundation’s Bruce Klingner describes in his latest paper:
During his self-appointed mission to North Korea this week, former President Jimmy Carter engaged in yet another sanctimonious effort to impose his vision onto U.S. policy. His trip was the latest iteration of a predictable pattern of coddling dictators and blaming the shortcomings of those regimes on the United States and its allies.
