BUSH THINKS TALK MEANS APPEASEMENT; RESULT IS WAR IN IRAQ

George Bush thinks it is "appeasement" to talk with countries that don't agree with the United States. Because that has been his policy for these past seven years, he wants voter to reject Barack Obama who believes in talking with everyone, even with those whom George Bush characterizes as "enemies."

If talk is appeasement, then what is negotiation,? Believing that it is always wrong to talk with "enemies," I guess that means that the State Department is an anachronism since State thought that diplomacy, frank discussion and negotiation really did matter.

Bush's policy of talk being equivalent to appeasement is the reason why the foreign policy of the U.S. under Bush has been such a militaristic and bellicose disaster. According to the bible of Bush, don't talk, don't negotiate, don't engage in diplomacy. Rather Bush's solution is to send in the war planes and the tanks.

BUSH'S POLICY OF NOT DEALING WITH "ENEMIES" HAS WASTED BOTH IRAQI AND AMERICAN LIVES

In his speech to Israel's Knesset yesterday, Bush said that those who wanted to talk to Hamas, or to Hezbollah, or to Iran, were no better than those who appeased the Nazis and Hitler.

Yet because Bush refused to engage in diplomacy with Iraq over supposed nuclear weapons, he has personally sunk the U.S. into this ever more costly war in terms of U.S. and Iraqi lives wasted.

If it were up to Bush, there would be no talking with countries perceived to be acting against the interests of the United States. The U.S. according to the gospel of Bush should solve all of its problems with war planes and missiles.

How much longer must we be the victims of Bush's deluded and simplistic foreign policy of us against them?
