Bush is the 'Worst President In History'
Carter: Bush 'Worst President In History'
Submitted by Mike Roberts on Sun, 05/20/2007 - 10:41am.
Former President Jimmy Carter says President Bush's administration is "the worst in history" when it comes to international relations.
Carter took aim at the White House's policy of pre-emptive war and its Middle East diplomacy.
The criticism from Carter, which a biographer says is unprecedented from the 39th president, also took aim at Bush's environmental policies and the administration's "quite disturbing" faith-based initiative funding.
Carter says that the Bush administration "has been the worst in history" in terms on making an adverse impact around the world.
The comments came in a copyright story in Saturday's edition of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
Carter said for the first time the United States has endorsed pre-emptive war, where military action is taken when the United State's security is not directly threatened but instead only fears it may be threatened in the future.
Carter, who won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, also criticized Bush's lack of peace talks in Israel.
