Former president Jimmy Carter was asked at an event at the LBJ library in Texas his opinion of the Moslem Brotherhood in Egypt and the group's likely impact as events move forward in that country. Carter said, "I think the Muslim Brotherhood is not anything to be afraid of in the upcoming (Egyptian) political situation and the evolution I see as most likely. They will be subsumed in the overwhelming demonstration of desire for freedom and true democracy."
Let's remember some of the other great insights by Carter in the region. Carter is the one who thought that removal of the Shah in Iran would lead to a pro-Western democracy there. He also felt that speaking softly in the face of Iran taking US embassy personnel hostage was the right way to go. Wow, I forgot what insight this guy has!
The truth is that Carter is generally delusional when it comes to world events. Anyone, like Carter, who could conclude that all the North Koreans want is peace, can only be described as delusional.
I still wonder to this day how the man was ever elected president.
