On October 11, 2002, former President Jimmy Carter wins the Nobel Peace Prize “for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development.”
Carter, a peanut farmer from Georgia, served one term as U.S. president between 1977 and 1981. One of his key achievements as president was mediating the peace talks between Israel and Egypt in 1978. The Nobel Committee had wanted to give Carter the prize that year for his efforts, along with Anwar Sadat and Menachim Begin, but was prevented from doing so by a technicality—he had not been nominated by the official deadline.

He was a driving force brokering the peace accord between Israel and Egypt. Too bad he didnt expend that type of energy when he was president.

COL (Join to see) I know that. He didnt expend any energy on the US as president. His 'malaise' speech showed us that.

One of the smartest Presidents we ever had. Problem was, he was just too nice in a dirty business, politics.
