A Mediterranean Battlefield - Syria
Adele Edisen Wrote:http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/carter-...de=13E5E-1

Former President Jimmy Carter and other foreign policy experts want the United States to ease its sanctions on terrorist organizations so professional peace groups can legally work with them.

Carter, along with the Charity & Security Network, sent a petition to Secretary of State John Kerry Thursday, asking that peace groups be exempted from policies that make it a crime to offer training in negotiation and humanitarian law to terrorists, reports The Hill.

"The Secretary of State can, and should, exempt peace-building activities from this counterproductive application of the law," the petition says. "Doing so would open the door for professional peace-builders to fully engage in helping to end armed conflicts and suffering around the world, while making the United States safer."
What Carter and the Charity & Security Network is asking for is more than reasonable. But the last thing TPTB want in this world is peace. No big profits in that.
