Jimmy Carter: “There must never be in our country another Love Canal.”

I fear for our democracy.

Inside Israel, there's no semblance of apartheid. It's a wonderful democracy, with everyone treated the same.

Without immediate action, we are at genuine risk of civil conflict and losing our precious democracy.

I think that sends a clear signal to Maliki that we won't be there indefinitely and my hope is that they'll be a commitment by the world community including the controversial nations of Syria and Iran.
