Victor Davis Hanson: Talking to Iran is a mistake for strategic, moral reasons jewishworldreview.com ^ | December 14, 2006 | Victor Davis Hanson

One of the many bizarre recommendations in the recently released report from the bipartisan Iraq Study Group is the call to talk with Iran. A formal dialogue with the present Iranian leadership is, for a number of reasons, as misguided as it is amoral.
Our guides in these scary times of facing aggressive dictatorships still should be Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt, not the British prime minister Stanley Baldwin and Joe Kennedy, the U.S. ambassador to Britain, who leading up to 1939 thought good could come out of talking with the Nazis.
First, the Iranian leadership goes beyond the usual boilerplate anti-Israel, anti-Semitic claptrap of the region.

Various mullahs have characterized Israel as a "one-bomb state," implying a single Iranian nuclear bomb could destroy it. The vicious hatred is so institutionalized in Iran's state-run media that a science-fiction TV series there depicts the evil alien queen as Jewish.

I remember watching an interview type show back during the 96 election with Hillary.

Going to be a very sad moment. He's a national treasure who deserves the highest honors and accolades.
Yes, I'm going to miss him myself.
I don't know how the man ever recovered from the vicious attacks on his character during those confirmation hearings.
And then I saw what the libs did to John Ashcroft and was horrified all over again.
The assault on people of character is typical of the left. And they never get called on their despicable behaviour.
Thanks for the ping! Sono Mode
Did the same here in Omaha -- oh BTW. Keno parlors get a 5 year exemption.
Mike's insipid response to the Bell shooting makes him uniquely disqualified to run for higher executive office. May he enjoy his post-mayoral sojourn to philanthropy.
You find that anyone who disagrees with them makes Guardian-readers heads explode!
I've told you about the serial killer over here at the minute? The Conservative press is just appalled full stop.
The Guardian and the BBC however, are full of crap like "even though these women are prostitutes, they don't deserve to be killed".
Do Liberals really need it explained to them that a woman should not be murdered no matter what her profession?
"Keep Johnson in the Senate....or he'll DIE!!!!!!!"
Betcha The Hildabeast has it.
I doubt Johnson is worried about his seat. The MSM is sick.
He is also a major gun grabber.
The shamelessness here is stunning.
Anything to keep their power....
Yes these so-called reporters are simply remoras, feeding on the effort of others and pandering to the whims of still more.
