the many faces of Appeasment

You have to love the irony that just a few days after President Bush attempted to label Mr. Obama an appeaser to terrorist in the Israeli Kenneset, Israel announced that it would renew its diplomatic discussions with Syria. This is the same Syria that Israel bombed a few years back because it was trying to secretly build nuclear weapons with assistance from North Korea.

North Korea is on the list of State supporters of Terrorism , but our current administration is actively conducting negotiations with North Korea in order to divert a possible nuclear confrontation with the rogue Hermit Kingdom. Why can we sit down and negotiate with North Korea or Syria but not Hamas? The current administrations policies towards the Middle East are contradictory and hypocritical. Its a shame that the greatness of America is being wasted by the provincial neo-con agenda.

Failed foreign policies toward Cuba

The Cuban Embargo is utterly ridiculous. We speak and engage diplomatically with the communist countries of China, North Korea, Laos, and Vietnam but we steadfastly hold on to this Cold War embargo because a few influential Cuban Americans wish to economically and politically cripple the island of Cuba. An American President who was truly beholden to the interest of the United States of America would understand the great economic and political benefits of tearing down the embargo. Instead, we get President Bush and McCain basing foreign policy on the petty wants of Florida's provincial constituency. We need a President who can be above the fray of the petty squable between Cuba and its bretheren. Atleast Mr. Obama has been brave enough to tell the truth even if it cost him the Cuban vote.
