Talking to Our Enemies
Obama made a good point about talking to our enemies. You have to be ignorant to think that anything can be done by ignoring people.

4. And I agree
but talking is not the same as acquiescence.
It is also talking to level a finger at them and say "j'accuse."

5. I completely agree!
We must talk to our enemies, all of them. Home, abroad. Does anyone speak Arabic? Maybe DU should have language lessons?
