We know that as the Cuban Missile Crisis. the Kennedy/Khruschev meeting was one of the biggest missteps of the cold war by the United States.
and THIS is Obamas justification for meeting with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Somebody explain to me how this "very smart" Harvard educated fellow Barak Obama can be both smart and incapable of understanding the nuance of history?
Please, raise your hand if that is what you want in a president.
really.... 'splain this.

The only justification I need to try something
different is that what we have tried is not working, has only increased anti-American sentiments, has destabalized the region even further, has cost more young lives than I believe is acceptable, has not improved our standard of living or the oil situation, etc...
The amazing thing is that this position of countries not engaging in tough diplomacy with nations that they do not agree with as an alternative or even a prelude to war is relatively new...historically speaking.
