What Is Appeasement? »
Posted By populist 1 year, 5 months ago in NewsDid we negotiate with the Soviets on a regular basis? Did we talk with them, even those who clearly had blood on their hands, even American blood? Of course. As a matter, frankly, of routine.

One of the first things most of us realized upon becoming adults is that certain things won't go away just because we have chosen to try and ignore them.
I would imagine that some sort of dialogue would be preferable to jingoistic ranting and sabre rattling.

"...some sort of dialogue would be preferable to jingoistic ranting and sabre rattling."
Not for the past seven-plus years. Or so Bush-Cheny and their cronies would believe.
Anyone recall the first four months of the glorious Bush adminstration, when we had that little airplance incident with China? Our spy plane was rammed by a Chinese fighter, and the plane and its valuable technology were kept hostage (along with the crew)? Rather than try and talk our way back from the brink, the Idiot In Chief threatened China with war over the situation.
It took cooler heads (ie: Colin Powell) to convince the knuckleheads that you can't push the Chinese with threats.
Luckily, we had that other little incident, the "new Pearl Harbor," a Neocon's dream come true. Plenty of smaller kids on the playground to push around and bully. No need to resort to consensus-building or gaining allies' trust. Except for that propaganda about the "Coalition of the Willing."

There have been many attempts at other terrorist attacks in this country since 9-11 and we have been protected.
We have GWB to thank for that. It's a hard pill for you Dems to swallow but it's the bitter truth. We were attacked after years of terrorists' planning while Bill Clinton was too busy
chasing tail around the White house. Now you think we need an anti-American, terrorist loving liar in the White House?
Unlike you all. I refuse to vote for him just because he is black. I need a better reason than that.

Yeah, the earth is flat too.

Well, unlike Bush, he's competent. But, you obviously are not a discerning person if you support Bush.
