Dale, <<I am still waiting for someone to tell me how our current Iran policy has succeeded where discussions would not. It's a hanging curveball for anyone who really thinks that talking is appeasement. Any takers>> If I can tag team something else onto your question which I think is important in this whole discussion. What policy with Iran will work with oil being $120 a barrel? My answer would be to talk to them but with the present price of oil, do they really need to listen? I would think you really need to hit them in the pocket book first and then they will become more pliable no matter what the strategy. Neal

how our current Iran policy has succeeded where discussions would not. It's a hanging curveball for anyone who really thinks that talking is appeasement Dale, Although I support Obama's position on this, I am very aware that I could well be seriously mistaken. The problem is it can only be defined after the fact. Chamberlain was an 'appeaser' because Hitler turned out to be a Monster. Reagan became a visionary statesman because it was Gorbachev he was dealing with. Essentially we are having to bet on what Ahmadinejad is going to become?
