Former President Carter says President Bush's administration is "the worst in history" in international relations, taking aim at the White House's policy of pre-emptive war and its Middle East diplomacy.The criticism from Carter, which a biographer says is unprecedented for the 39th president, also took aim at Bush's environmental policies and the administration's "quite disturbing" faith-based initiative funding.
"I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history," Carter told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in a story that appeared in the newspaper's Saturday editions. "The overt reversal of America's basic values as expressed by previous administrations, including those of George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon and others, has been the most disturbing to me."
I've come to realize that I'm almost completely apathetic to the state of politics. I realize this is wrong, and I'm not inactive due to ignorance or laziness.
I'm fatigued.
I need a hero to emerge. Something extremely unlikely to happen in today's politcal machine. I wonder if American politcs has run its course...the great experiment past its prime, descending into a bloated, decadent downfall like so many of the great empires before.
