This exchange underscores just how retarded Bush and his republican sycophants are on this issue. Diplomacy and appeasement are two completely different, completely unrelated things. And if wanting to talk to Iran is "appeasement", then Gates and Rice are appeasers too. As is Bush with the North Koreans and the Libyan's.



Priceless. 4 years ago, this moron would have been applauded as being "tough". Now it just looks like the ignorant, uninformed belligerence it's always been. And yeah, Mathews is a stick finger in air and gauge the wind kind of guy which is why both the right and left hate him. But it is a barometer of just where exactly this country is at right now and underscores what nonsense we've all had our fill of..
