Chicago Tribune (August 30)
If the Earth is ever invaded by aliens from another planet, former U.S. president Jimmy Carter would be the ideal negotiator. Carter negotiated the release of an American citizen with North Korea, making him “well-equipped to try to decipher the motives of strange aliens who do not behave according to our ideas of rationality.” This was not Carter’s first negotiation with North Korea. The strange thing this time was that Carter was invited by Kim Jong Il, who bizarrely travelled to China during Carter’s visit. Go figure…or rather don’t even try.
