One way we do that, by the way, is to convince both warring parties once they decide they cannot win on the battlefield that maybe they should have an election. Since we are involved in their countries already with education and health programs and agriculture programs, they quite often turn to us, and we use the principle of politics which is based on self-delusion. If you think for just a moment, anyone running for office is convinced that if the election is honest, and the people know me and know these other jokers, surely they will vote for me. Our main program at the Carter Center is to deal with health programs. We are eradicating a major disease called guinea worm, and we concentrate on other diseases, primarily those involving blindness.
Trachoma is a disease the number one cause of preventable blindness.
We are treating trachoma. Another one is onchocerciasis or river blindness. So that is very quickly a gamut of the things the Carter Center does which I think has convinced this group to award this beautiful bronze statue. Since we have left the White House, Rosalynn and I have visited 120 nations among them the poorest nations on earth. As the new millennium arrived, I was asked to make a speech in Norway and later in Taiwan to analyze the greatest challenge that the world places in this millennium.
