    This is where I feel Obama's personality is a great fit, but his policies are a disaster waiting to happen....very Carteresque in their naivety. But....on the other hand, unlike Carter (and BUSH!!!) , I take some comfort in the belief that Obama will surround himself with extremely smart and opinionated people. In other words, I doubt he's actually going to sit down with Achmadinijad....although if I were Achmadinijad I would issue a VERY public invitation to Obama on Jan. 21, 2009.

    what is the worst thing that could come of a F2F meeting with Achmadinijad? I just don't get why people are so opposed to the president talking to our enemies.

    i don't get why this is such a big deal either. mcain during the debate seemed to suggest that conversation == endorsement which is absolutely wrong. right now, not speaking to Achmadinijad probably gives him more power than speaking to him...

    The same thing that happened when Chamberlin met with Hitler. The same reason I doubt Obama would have a oval-office meeting with the leader of the KKK....

    LOTS of ways for an enemy to use a F2F meeting with the leader of the free world. It is so reckless and naïve.

    I don't agree at all

    But I won't convince you and you won't convince so it's one more area where we will have to agree to disagree
