Carter: Holding back tears in Gaza Jun. 16, 2009 jpost.com staff and AP , THE JERUSALEM POST

Former US president Jimmy Carter said he was holding back tears when surveying the destruction in Gaza following Israel's Operation Cast Lead earlier this year, Israel Radio reported Tuesday.

Carter said that it was discomforting to see the devastation in Gaza but also to see Kassams falling on Sderot, according to Israel Radio.

The way to stop this is through dialogue and peace, Carter told reporters.

Carter was in Gaza on Tuesday for a meeting with Hamas leaders in which he said he would try to persuade Hamas leaders to accept the international community's conditions for ending its boycott of the Islamic militant group. Carter added that after his talks in Gaza, he will meet with officials in the Obama administration.

The former president is also due to deliver a letter by the parents of IDF soldier Gilad Schalit to Hamas and is due to meet with Noam Schalit upon his return from Gaza, Israel Radio reported.

What an idiot.
The news just broke that their were two bombs on Carter's exit out of Gaza that were supposed to murder the former President and that he plans to ask Obama to remove Hamas from American terrorist list.
What an idiot.
