Sad

Wow. It is really sad when you look a the level of political discourse in this country. Our own President is trying to compare Obama saying he would not rule out negotiations with Iran to Nazi appeasement. Oh and it happens to be the 60th anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel. It is disgusting to think that our leaders would choose to immediately limit their resources when dealing with a troubled region. And its all sound bites. If Bush, or someone with a brain, could actually sit down with the leader of Iran and try to talk things over they would be a fool not to. I cringe when I think about the people who actually support that kind of closed minded policy. So what if talks with Iran fail, at least they tried to avoid a violent conflict. I think there is more to said of person who truly exhausts all peaceful options before launching into a military campaign. I guess we already know we can’t expect that from Bush. And it appears McCain, if elected, is setting him self up to have the same type of foreign policy that good G W has campaigned for almost eight years now. Call me crazy but I think foreign policy should be thoughtful, not a pissing contest. Hopefully people will come to their sense and elect a reasonable person, least say Barak Obama.
