"When an adversary is holding a gun to your head you are in no position to negotiate; you can only appease. "

Who's got the gun, you idiot? WE'VE got 8000 nukes - Iran doesn't even have ONE. By your "definition", Iran will have to appease US.

What a moron..

Bull
The US has two wars going on irans borders. Iran's bombastic language aside, they are not currently at war with anyone and have not been for some time and their fp has been to check what they see as encirclement by the US. Actually their mindset is much the same as the soviets of yesterday and putin today. Talking to them is in both countries interests. To label folks who want to talk to iran as misguided is one thing---to accuse them of appeasement is shear stupidity. Why am i not surprised from where such charges come. You and Bush--perfect together. Will you go away in 240 days too? Please say yes.

ANY negotiation that changes Iran's position would be, by definition, appeasement, UNLESS one subscribes to the theory that Iran is going to make a concession in their position without the US conceding something, which is of course, an irrational claim.

Now you're changing the meaning of words......anything to build a case against negotiation and Obama.
