Perfect,let him go,he will be puting a noose around his own neck.He is an American citizen and can choose his own destiny.After he goes and meets with them we can than call him a traitor under the logan act.

I posted this last night on another thread about this insanity:

Colin Powell didn't urge him not to go? What the HECK is going on here? I know it's all fun to talk about letting him go and then starting the bombing, but let's think about it realistically for a moment.

• This idiot gets an invite and runs it by the Bush administration.
• They do not forbid him or urge him not to go.
• Once he goes under those circumstances it will be played up as a tacit approval by the administration.
• Any action we're talking about taking would be hamstrung by his presence there.

Surely someone will come to their senses.

Good grief.

If we allow him to go it's a clear signal that no action is forthcoming where he is. Stupidest thing I've ever heard.

The Logan Act, prohibiting civilian participation in diplomatic negotiations except by official authority, has been a problem, not enforced during the Klinton regime, for Jackson before in 1999.

Time for enforcement.

War has not been declared. If the US allows him to go, it is tacit agreement with his trip.
