CARTER APOLOGIZES FOR REVEALING HIS BIAS
IS HE APOLOGIZING FOR THE UNDERLYING SENTIMENT OR "THE WORDING?" I DIDN'T HEAR HIM REJECT THE ENDORSEMENT OF TERRORISM AGAINST ISRAEL.
Carter apologizes for 'stupid' book passage (Wash. Times)
Jimmy Carter has apologized for what he called a "stupid" passage in his book that critics say is a de facto endorsement of Palestinian violence against Israelis. The former president had spent most of the past two months defending his new book, "Palestine: Peace not Apartheid," after 15 board members at his Atlanta-based Carter Center resigned in protest of the book's content.
"I apologize to you personally and to everyone here," Mr. Carter said when asked about the passage by a student during his appearance at Brandeis University on Tuesday. After explaining that the passage was "worded in a completely improper and stupid way," Mr. Carter said he has asked publisher Simon & Schuster Inc. to change the wording in future editions of the book.
The questionable passage, which appears on Page 213 of the book, reads: "It is imperative that the general Arab community and all significant Palestinian groups make it clear that they will end the suicide bombings and other acts of terrorism when international laws and the ultimate goals of the Roadmap for Peace are accepted by Israel."

I don't understand how that could be re-worded in such a way as to suggest that he didn't mean that the suicide bombings should continue until "peace" is reached. Doesn't look like a re-worded version would change the obviously conclusion that Carter believes they are justified. And I am just sick of this crap about these idiots who think that any of the militant Muslims want anything but murder and carnage. Makes me sick that we all waste our time with this. It's never going to end. It's a waste of time. Until Islam stops believing that Mohamed was "the perfect man", then the horrors that he preached will always be preached by his followers. It's just not going to end. Sick of it.
