Jimmy Carter has a simple idea: you can only make peace when you talk to your enemies. Our current policy makes it unlikely that groups like Hamas might moderate their policies

The idea that you make progress towards peace by refusing to talk to your adversary, as belligerent and threatening as they might be, is childish, idiotic and just plain dumb.

The numbers over the past 30 years are not refutable. When it comes to creating jobs and managing the nation's finances, Democratic presidents demonstrate success while Republican presidents show failure.

In 1996 I urged Carter to understand that he could make his peace with America's Jews and Israel by having a deeper appreciation of the resentment he engenders when his advocacy on behalf of the Palestinian people seems to be at Israel's expense.

As a Catholic, I'm watching with great interest the visit of Pope Benedict XVI to the U.S., even though I had only a glimpse of him as he left the White House after his meeting with President Bush.

Obama, in my view, has tarnished his foreign policy credentials here. If he can't embrace what great Americans have been able to do -- and what Sen. Chuck Hagel has suggested be done with Hamas -- then what use is his new vision?

Clinton can achieve more and leave a greater legacy of service to her country and her gender as a four- or-five term senator from NY than as a one-term failed president, like Carter.

Barack Obama -- for all his many strengths and merits -- is no longer an electable candidate in his 2008-bid for the White House. That's why, Senator Edwards, you need to through your weight behind Clinton now.

It is increasingly unseemly for superdelegates to stand by as the Clinton campaign resorts to techniques that would have made Jesse Helms blush 20 years ago.

Why don't the Clintons want to be transparent about their money trail? Hillary is panting for presidential power. She can just taste it. Why not be -- startling, now, for a Clinton -- open?
