Isn't diplomacy where you talk to all sides and work out solutions?

Question

Then why is the Bush/Cheney group not willing to talk to Syria?

Answer 1

they only negotiate with people who give them their way.

Answer 2

Idiocracy is believing all that bullsh*t will work! Talk is cheap! And we owe! Big Deficit! So just do the right thing! Actions make it to the history books! - Besides there's probably no profit in talking to Syria or the burning Bush would be there with Chaney on a leash.

Answer 3

Mathew 7
“Judge not, that you be not judged. , For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get.
Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
Or how can you say to your brother , ‘ Let me take the speck out of your eye’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye , and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.”

I'm not a church person or dogmatic Christian but this passage quoting the Messiah speaks mountains to me about what is wrong with the Administrations policy in the Mid-East.

Answer 4

There are some people you don't talk to for example mass murders, people who are funding Muslims terrorists and such.

Also you need to know all of what is going on with back door and underground talks.

This way both countries can be talking and now Peloise blew any chances of that to happen.

Answer 5

Diplomacy? hmmm, like when the brits sent ole Neville to negotiate with Hitler? yea, that worked out well didn't it.
Example : Would you want to negotiate with the guy that was supplying drugs to the guy that was selling them to your friends and family?

Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.
