Portions therein:
Ronald Reagan was a strong believer in personal diplomacy - the idea
of having a face-to-face discussion with those he was seeking to
persuade. That's why, after becoming president, he often talked
privately about the desire to engage the leader of the Soviet Union
in
a one-on-one conversation, to diminish any fear of the United
States'
intentions and to seek common ground for reducing tensions and
promoting peace.
You gotta know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em. And, you
gotta
know when to shoot and when to hold your fire.
Of course, that assumes you've got something to shoot.

But we haven't even TRIED yet to talk to Al Qaeda. You goose steppers
won't
even give them a chance to negotiate.
How much madder to you want to make them?
Oh. It's about talking to Al Qaeda.
Not just them, the Talyban too.
That's a lot of people to talk to. Narrow it down a bit and I'm sure
Harry would volunteer to pop over there and negotiate a settlement for
us.
We just have to talk to the leaders, I'm sure the rest will fall in line.
If we can stop them from hating us it will go along way towards stopping
hate.
Maybe we could use Harry's lobsta boat to sign the treaties on!
What could we do or say or give them that would cause them stop hating us?
We could start by saying we're sorry for blaming 9-11 on them.
