An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
Former Prez Peanut At It Again
‘We cannot have peace without justice’
Former US President Jimmy Carter visited Jeddah on Saturday to share his vision of the future of cross cultural and interfaith relations and peace in the Middle East with an invited audience.
Sami Angawi, who hosted the event, greeted the 39th US president who has devoted his life to building understanding between peoples and offering practical medical help to millions of the poor across the world through the Carter Center.
Isn’t it a shame he has little to no understanding himself?
“Everybody’s talking about peace, but we cannot have peace without justice,” he said in his opening remarks to guests. “But justice cannot be done without mercy and mercy cannot be given without knowledge,” he said.
And when will there be justice for the victims of Carter’s buddies? You know the ones who like to blow up innocent men, women and children.
“The balance is between the constant and the evolving. If only constant, nothing happens and if only evolving, then there will be chaos. Balance is what brings them together. Change will give us diversity and constancy will give us unity,” he said.
He added that diversity exists within unity and unity accommodates diversity and this was what brought us together as mankind.
I do believe ol’ Jimmah has gone off his meds. What the hell is he talking about??
Carter said that his return to Saudi Arabia reminded him that the Kingdom represented the common aspirations of many human beings.
“Peace, cooperation, forgiveness and ability to work together for common goals that are also common to all the major religions,” he said.
Isn’t it unbelievable that Mr Peanut talks about forgiveness to this bunch?
Carter recalled a schoolteacher from his youth whom he quoted at both his inauguration as president and on receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.
“He said that we must accommodate changing times but cling to unchanging principles. We must be flexible in modern days recognizing the diversity of the hopes and dreams of all people but I also think that principles never change. Justice, peace, humility, service, forgiveness, compassion and love. So, we have no separation among us.”
I wonder how loud the Saudis, along with every other Muslim country, laughs behind his back?
Carter said that he had faith and confidence in the moral values of President Barack Obama and that he was well aware of the tremendous pressures on him by interest groups in the US.
Offering a glimpse of the way the Carter Center worked at both ends of the peace continuum, he said; “We try to provide an alternative voice to some of those groups. I have free access to President Obama and his advisers and we continue to pursue the goal of the US taking leadership to bring about the dream of peace.”
Oh yeah, I’m sure ol’ Jimmah has a hot line straight to his fellow appeaser in the White House. Until people like Jimmy Carter snap out of their stupor and realize that the ones they are sucking up to are the reason there won’t be any peace in the Middle East, and stand up to the religion of pieces, the odds of any peace being seen are slim to none.
