I just have to say this now:
The debate that has been going on today..on this thread..regarding the situation in Iran, is THE REASON that this is the best thread.
You are all debating with knowledge and opinions..and no cheap shots..no personalizing it.
Just reading this thread is like watching a great debate...carry on!!
Terrorists are like other Democrats: the more we try to treat them in a civilized manner the nastier and bolder they get. Sometimes, just lately, I wish our policy on negotiating with terrorists in hostage situations included a reaction which would preclude the possibility of a second offense.
Just so you can see I am not neglecting me here is a photo my dinner which is a chicken and ham casserole done in the slow cooker whilst I was at the hospital.
This is a similar problem I run into in business all the time. There seems to be this strange notion with the Baby Boomer Generation that doing something different is "doing it wrong. This seems to be the whole problem with our current political leadership.
There seems to be an inability or unwillingness to consider the way they have always conducted International Relations has not worked and they should be considering alternative strategies and options.
