Well…after the news this week on the overtures from Iran on trying to start toward normalizing relations with the US, we got the expected response from the repubs in a letter to Obama from McCain and some of the other idiots on the right…and guess what the advice is? It is to shout louder at the Iranians and to not negotiate unless the US will tell them what we want and accept nothing less thai everything we want. Now, this is not diplomacy by any stretch of the imagination and is the same failed policy that led us into war in Iraq…didn’t the repubs see that diplomacy can work as it did in Syria? It just goes back to how the repubs view negotiating and compromise in our government…as in they won’t unless the left gives them everything they want and they won’t be satisfied if they ever have to compromise one iota. That doesn’t work here, and it sure won’t work in the international arena…but the stupidity and ideological rigidity of the right just can’t allow any new thinking…even if there have been good results…geez…
