Bush suggests Obama wants ‘appeasement’ of terrorists
I have two questions. First, why does Bush think it’s a good idea to lump Iran and Al Qaeda into the same group? Secondly, (and this is a serious question for anybody who disagrees with me), how would an unpreconditioned meeting with Iranian leaders be bad idea? It doesn’t have to be a full state visit with all the pomp—but why not have some people with authority to talk with eachother get together in Egypt or somewhere? Iran is no more eager to give up its nuclear program than we are to give up ours—so why are we refusing to discuss issues that we could make some headway on until they do something we already know they’re not going to do?
