Proving, once again, madmen and terrorists can be negotiated with, they&#8217;ll just screw you later.<br \/>\nCarter? Good God! Look, I am only 35, I was in kindergarten when Carter took office, but, I can remember the long lines at the gas pumps and watching my parents shake their heads and pray for the hostages Carter left to the tender mercies of Iranian terrorists. Unless Dr Rice is looking for advice on what does not, has never and will never work, she is talking to the wrong people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reuters reports that Secretary of State Rice has been speaking to former Presidents Clinton and Carter &hellip; <a title=\"Well, They Have Great Examples of What NOT to do&#8230;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=799\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Well, They Have Great Examples of What NOT to do&#8230;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/63"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=799"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/799\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
