Mr. Peanut Goes to Nepal

Jimmy Carter/President PeanutFormer President “Jimmuh” Carter sure does love him some terrorists. And he sets out to prove it once again.

Former US President Jimmy Carter called on his country’s government Saturday to establish relations with Nepal’s former rebel Maoists, who remain on a list of US terrorist organisations.

“My opinion is that the US should establish some communication with the Maoists. The people of Nepal have accepted them as political players,” Carter told journalists at the end of a four-day visit to Nepal.

[...]

Earlier this week the US ambassador to Nepal James Moriarty said that the ultra-leftists’ “addiction to violence, extortion and intimidation continues unabated.”

During his visit, Carter met with Prachanda, the Maoist leader whose nom-de-guerre means “the fierce one.”

The Fierce One meet the Feckless One. The two of you should get along just fine.

    FYI, the Communist Party of Nepal is NOT on the State Department’s Foreign Terrorist Organizations list:

    They are, however, on the Specially Designated Nationals list which is maintained by the Department of Treasury:
