Gee minetty. Lugar now says "it would be useful" to engage in 1-on-1 talks with IRAN. Pure stupidity. I lived in Tehran during the downfall of the Shah and the rise of Khomeini and the mullahs who hijacked the revolution. Iran is the world's biggest state sponsor of global terrorism and the purveyor of islamic fundamentalism. Any negotiations with Iran will just cement the existing power structure, which most Iranians don't support.
Lugar's suggestion that we should include Iran in discussions about Iraq is utter nonsense. Iran fought an 8 year war with Iraq with over a million casualties. The Iranians are not arabs and don't share the same culture and language.
We should continue to advocate regime change in Iran and North Korea, the same way that Reagan branded the Soviet Union as the evil empire. Bush had it right when he called Iraq, Iran, and NK as the axis of evil. One down, two to go.

Anyone who advocates direct-talks with either Iran or North Korea... is a traitor... or a fool.

Excellent Kabar.
Truth is to defeat these regimes,Iraq,Iran,Syria etc. it takes troops on the ground willing to go in and kill terrorists.
Absent that you only get pauses in a long war on infidels by brainwashed muslims. The day we start to understand that is the day we will begin to defeat these islamofascists.
