Warning!

I am definitely more on the liberal side. So I am sure that my blogs reflect that.

Obama's Response to Bush's Remarks

President Bush recently went to Israel to celebrate their sixty year anniversary as a state. Rather than focus on the event, he decided to start talking about domestic issues at home--attacking those such as Obama. He called them appeasers and compared them to those who wanted to talk to Hitler. I personally think that Bush's policy not to talk to leaders from places like Iran and Syria is ineffective. I am just one of those people that would like to make progress and possibly put and and to some of the bad relationships that we have with the world. What is the worst that can happen? You don't agree? Then you are no better off than where you started. But you are still learning and attempting compromise. You can't just ignore people that you do not agree with. Maybe in your everyday life, but you can't ignore a whole country's leader. Bush said people like Obama negotiate with terrorists, but he never said he would negotiate with terrorists. He said he would TALK to LEADERS of countries like Iran and Syria. Bush and anyone who agrees with his policy reminds me of a little baby that just pouts and doesn't want to talk when they don't get there way. Here is what Obama said in response. I think it is very well put.
