Update 12/18/06 - Here is an insightful article pointing out the millions of dollars Jimmy Carter has received from Arab sources for his library. One can't be blamed for wondering how objective that makes him.

Mona Charen says Jimmy Carter has "a seemingly unerring instinct for error." Carter has written a new book: Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid. Charen says "[it] is touted (by Carter himself) as an evenhanded analysis of the Israeli/Arab conflict -- but one need go no further than the title to suspect otherwise."
Here’s a precis of the book: Israel is the problem. In fact, it’s all summed up in the final paragraph: “Peace will come to Israel and the Middle East only when the Israeli government is willing to comply with international law, with the Roadmap for Peace, with official American policy, with the wishes of a majority of its own citizens — and honor its own previous commitments — by accepting its legal borders.” By the way, that kind of awkward phrasing is found throughout this slapdash work.
.... The book is so foolish that you can pretty much close your eyes and point to any page to find something simplistic, naïve, or tendentious. (Read Charen's entire review)
