Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

>>>Please show links to where I ever said we shouldn't use diplomacy.<<<


Your support for an administration that chooses the silent treatment over diplomacy every chance they get is all we need to know. The Korea deal almost seemed like an accident where the US was dragged to the table kicking and screaming by 4 other countries.


>>>Even with countires like Syria- despite the public stances of Israel and the US, there are back channel ways to communicate<<<


If there was back channel diplomacy going on why would Syria's president practically beg the US - in public - to approach them?


"CAIRO, Egypt -- Syrian President Bashar Assad said in an interview aired Monday that the Bush administration does not have the vision to bring peace in Iraq and that his country could help calm the crisis if approached."

>>>The dems are really on a path to self dewstruct. The majority of the American people don't share their way left stance<<<


Gotta give them credit though. For a party that's self destructing with way left politics, gaining 37 house seats and 6 senate seats in the last election isn't bad.
