any al Qadea or Taliban forces that crossed the border into Iran they
would turn over to America, offered to let US planes fly over Iranian
airspace, and one of the largest gatherings of support for the victims
of 9/11 was in Tehran and yet W snubbed them at every turn.

Under Bill Clinton we talked w/ N. Korea and they didn't make any nuclear
weapons but W refused to talk to them and so the built an atomic bomb.

W bush = diplomacy

You may have a different idea what diplomacy really means.

Willard probably also agrees with a great Bush quote: 'I have nothing against dictators, as long as I am the dictator' ....... Bush 2, the worst president of this country

At least 70% of the non comatose population would question Bush's diplomacy, the probability that journalist Gregory missed an opportunity to learn a lesson in history is certain.
