It’s statements like this that solidify Carter’s place as the worst president in the history of this nation:

“I hope and pray that Iran will be induced to permit international inspectors to come in and observe their entire nuclear program, because what they’re doing so far is completely illegal under the nonproliferation treaty,” the former president said in an interview with CNN’s Candy Crowley.
“They have a right to purify uranium and plutonium to use for nuclear power. If Iran is on the borderline, the constant threats that we or the Israelis are going to attack Iran is the best thing to force them to say, ‘Let’s defend ourselves.’ I don’t think Iran has made up their mind what to do, and I think the best thing we can do is engage them and stop making these idle threats.”

Yes, I’m sure they have no idea what they are going to do to Israel. No, they really only want that new facility they’ve been hiding for domestic purposes. And they’re hiding the facility because…? And they’re testing missiles because…(check out this and this and this)? For protection? You’d have to be totally ignorant of the words of Ahmadinejad over the years or hopelessly naive to buy that.
