JF, after thinking about it, I take back what I said about Carter acting as a "self-appointed proxy for the State Department." That may have been true during the Clinton years, but these days you're right, he is going as a private citizen, albeit one with the reputation and the privileges of being a former US president. But still, I strongly criticize the wisdom of his visit. Tenchusatsu

"Oh bull shit. He has no power." He has the power of being a believable honest broker. That's something our government doesn't have.

Oh bull shit. He has no power. How much power did he have when Carter went and negotiated the failed NK nuke deal?
