Bush's restaint in these situations is remarkable, but this one might call for a response.

Careful Hank, your troll roots are showing.
(a) So -- you think the Camp David peace accords aren't worthy of praise? The one peaceful border Israel has had over the past 20 years?
(b) "Oversaw the start of Iran"? WTF? If Carter could and should have done something different vis a vis "Iran" and the Iranian Revolution as a whole, (aside from looking weak and ineffectual throughout the hostage crisis") why didn't your hero RR set it straight? He could have knocked the place over like a matchbox and F--ck the Russians.
(c) A co-conspirator in giving NK the bomb? You should ghostwrite for Ann Coulter.
Bush's restraint is "remarkable" because there is no way that a discussion of these issues helps him politically -- he really wants to move the campaign onto other issues. Witness recent speeches about how all this conflict and disagreement is in the past. Therefore, I hope our body politic manages to spend several weeks hashing through the new Clarke book. Hard to characterize that man as a nutcase or a secret Democrat.
