Obama Talks Tough on Iran

Iran tested nine medium range ballistic missiles today. Obama wisely got right out in front of the news and talked about the need for strong diplomacy and negotiations in below video. I liked his reference to us "farming out our diplomacy to the Europeans".

Reagan Was an Appeaser Too

Funny how the world changes but the feckless Republican leadership stays the same...

When Reagan went to Moscow in the 80s to discuss arms reductions with Mikhail Gorbachev (which ultimately paved the way for the dissolution of the USSR), the Conservative Caucus (with cheerleader Newt Gingrich) called Reagan an appeaser and likened his summit to Neville Chamberlain's appeasement of the Nazis in the 1930s.

Sounds just like recent events, doesn't it, with Bush, McCain and the conservatives calling Obama an appeaser for pledging to meet with hostile leaders?



Hat Tip: Andrew Sullivan
