[quote mattkime]can someone remind me why its not okay for us to meet with our "enemies"?
This is EXACTLY what needs to happen. BO needs to stand up and proclaim, "It's GOOD for us to try to engage in diplomacy. And it should be the norm rather than the exception. We have seen the alternative, and it is a quagmire."
The BO cover story in June's Esquire mag made a point of "...there needs to be an accounting of the sins of the past eight years" vs. just "moving on" and not dealing OUT LOUD with all the wrongs that have been done. Made the point that there will be no moving forward with real change until America has a confession, and a reckoning, if you will. It is an interesting point.
