The current administration has long held that we don't talk with terrorists, yet, as I type, Condoleezza Rice is in Libya, talking with "Colonel" Gaddafi. Now, I realize that Libya has made strides from the 1980's but Gaddafi is still the same man that sponsered the bombing of PanAm 103. Last I checked, that was a blatant act of terrorism, therefore, Gaddafi is a terrorist.
So why is it ok for the current administration to talk to Gaddafi, but it's a horrible idea for Obama to talk to Iran (for example)? While I agree that Libya has come a long way, I don't think we should talk to them until Gaddafi (the terrorist) is out of there. Oh, but wait - Libya has oil...
Our books were all banned here. Care to expound?It's sad that no one quotes some of our founding fathers and their views on terrorism and dangers to a free society. Maybe we should turn off the tv and head for the library to learn who the true terrrorists are.
Doesn't anyone know how to make an effective letter-bomb anymore? The check's in the mail.On a final note, please don't forget that CIA created Al-Qaeda and recruited Osama to fight the Soviets. As far as I know, based on the facts and our countries actions, he is still on our payroll.
Yeah, well, when my highly-trained chow starts randomly biting women & children he can expect to be summarily put down also.Don't forget we trained them, we supplied them with weapons and participated in their 'terrorist' activities agains other nations, not just USSR.
And you know this how? First hand experience or western media?In the 1980s, the Soviet Union was the most infamous terror-state existing in human history.
