I thought that was a productive use of time spent in the presence of an enemy head of state.BThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05267406311477974023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17475707.post-74299525605914033312008-03-12T11:29:00.000-06:002008-03-12T11:29:00.000-06:00In addition to your arguments, the Cold War has gi...In addition to your arguments, the Cold War has given us ample reason to reject such naive ideas as Obama's. When presidents talk to despotic world leaders who hate the US, the President ends up looking weak and foolish. It is not good for US soft power. Such meetings should only occur at the end of substantial negotiations, not at the beginning (as with Nixon/Kissinger's meeting in China). I would support the Secretary of State meeting with anybody that will meet with him/her, including Iran, but that is not the President's job.Ryan Deckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03060713323484397524noreply@blogger.com
