What did refusing to talk to a head of state ever accomplish? Did Cuba, North Korea, or Iran change its ways because Bush refused to talk with them? With the comment about Hitler’s appeasement, was Bush trying to say that if he had talked to North Korea, he was afraid he would have broken down and told them they could have South Korea? I don’t understand this fear of talking to the ruling government of any country, unless you are afraid your leader is a complete idiot.

I have never seen such a narcissistic individual as Mika holding court on that show. After two months my stomach could take no more and my eyes and ears could not believe her literally storm troopering through each and every topic.

This is no way to start the day - ugly ugly stuff. The guests serve only as her props - and Joe? A Joke.

I didn’t get the impression he was talking about heads of state. Rather it was “terrorists and radicals.” Maybe the head (I forgot his actual title) of Iran qualifies as that, but I don’t think he was talking about nations with whom we disagree, e.g. Cuba.

But simply “talking” to Hamas et al. and thinking that that will make them stop killing innocents and plotting to kill even more doesn’t have a very a good track record.

As McCain asked.... What are you going to say? It is egomaniac-like for anyone to think that they can persuade someone like Almeinijad (sp) through their unassailable rhetoric to change his policies.
