' Jimmy Carter: Give Hamas a chance'

FoxNews Carter, who monitored last week's Palestinian elections in which Hamas handily toppled the ruling Fatah, added that the United States should not cut off aid to the Palestinian people, but rather funnel it through third parties like the U.N. "If you sponsor an election or promote democracy and freedom around the world, then when people make their own decision about their leaders, I think that all the governments should recognize that administration and let them form their government," Carter said. (Watch the former president cautiously defend Hamas -- 4:35) "If there are prohibitions -- like, for instance, in the United States, against giving any money to a government that is controlled by Hamas -- then the United States could channel the same amount of money to the Palestinian people through the United Nations, through the refugee fund, through UNICEF, things of that kind," he added. Oh yeah, let's give more money to the UN. They are always honest up front about their programs and pro-America. It'ld go to the people of Palestine just like oil-for-food went to the Iraqi people. As I said before, it's time for Carter to sit down and shut up.
