Vilsack Wants To Talk

From the Des Moines Register:

Gov. Tom Vilsack sketched out his views as a presidential contender on Iraq and other world trouble spots during an interview Friday with CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

The two-term Iowa governor said the U.S. government should be using diplomacy to aggressively engage some of its chief adversaries.

"The fact we're not talking to Iran, to Syria, to North Korea I think has made it a much more dangerous world than it needed to be," Vilsack said.

What do you say to the leaders of countries who deny the Holocaust and advocate the eradication of Israel, sponsor terrorism throughout the Middle East, and who seem to be interested in building nuclear weapons and aiming them at Seoul, Tokyo, and Seattle?

I know what Tom Vilsack would say to our enemies: How much should I make the check out for?

The Bush administration's foreign policy "has alienated most of our friends and somehow united most of our enemies," he said.

Our "friends" the French?

I seem to remember that the Clinton Administration armed our enemies. Didn't the US taxpayers pay for North Korea's nuclear ambitions?

The above statement also shows that our alienated "friends" can't seem to do shit without the US making the first step. When did the French or the Germans initiate anything, or than some oil-for-kickbacks scam that enriched the family of war criminal Kofi Annan?
