The Bush administration must push harder -- and be evenhanded -- to revive sagging peace hopes in the Middle East, former President Carter said Monday.

No doubt Joseph Lieberman will soon be issuing a statement condemning Carter for going against 50 years of U.S. policy towards Israel and John Kerry will call Mr. Carter's foreign policy experience into question for making such comments.
