Jimmy Carter arrives in Cuba for three-day visit
Former president Jimmy Carter has arrived in Cuba on a three-day, non-governmental visit, Reuters reports.

The Havana Times says Carter, who is accompanied by his wife, Rosalynn, will meet with President Raul Castro and other Cuban officials.

It is Carter's second trip to the island. In 2002, he met with then-President Fidel Castro and addressed the public at the University of Havana. He is the only U.S. president to visit Cuba.

1. Bless Jimmy Carter.
He's breaking ground. I bet the media wouldn't call for his head this time as they did last time.

2. He's the only official from the U.S. who treats people with respect.
Everyone else seems to think that only applies to people with the same political views.
