Though these comments were made last fall, they are still pertinent today.
Several months ago Pres. Jimmy Carter spoke out on the spying scandal at the National Security Agency. In a speech in Georgia last fall the former President spoke on several topics including Egypt and America's standing in the world. He even said America no longer has a functioning democracy, a statement I essentially agree with.
I don't agree with Mr. Carter on every point here, especially with the statement (as reported) that there is no reason to be optimistic about Egypt. But, otherwise, his comments are spot-on. Kudos to Jimmy Carter. (Please note that the translation from Der Spiegel is by Google and contains errors of syntax. Nevertheless, the article is very readable and worthwhile.)
