I saw this today and thought I'd mention it.
Good for them. If a dictator and a financier of terrorists had a possibility of coming to my hometown, I'd be equally as angry and concerned. This guy is despicable and is one of our greatest enemies. But, I guess harboring the terrorists responsible for the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 (then welcoming back the surviving terrorist with open arms this past week) and shooting scud missiles at US forces in the Mediterranean doesn't qualify you as a bad guy. He's just 'misunderstood'. We should sit down and talk with him, Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong-il and other men who wish the total destruction of our country and way of life in order to help understand how our past policies and actions could have led them, 'good' men, to oppose us.
It used to be that we fought against injustice and actions against humanity whenever and wherever we found it. Now, it seems that we only care about such acts when the perpetrators are doing it in order to protect us (those evil CIA members, doing everything they can to defend us by making some American killing terrorists feel a little temporary discomfort. The nerve!). For you see, we can always 'sit and down and have a pleasant chat' with our enemies, rather them fight them at every corner.
Well, Neville Chamberlain and Edourd Daladier also thought that a policy of appeasement would protect their countries too when they signed the Munich Agreement with Hitler. So, let's see what happened. France was overrun in a couple of weeks and Britain endured countless bombings and rocket attacks while having London reduced to a bloody smoldering ruin. Yep, sitting down and talking works so well.
