Take Another Look;

Candace;

"Popular opinion is not in favor of us, or Israel..."?

We are only unpopular with our enemies.

Iran and Syria have been creating mayhem in the Mideast for years. Do you really want to support them and what they stand for?

The rest of the Mideast remains pro-US and pro-West. Egypt, Israel, Turkey, Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan, UAR are all friends of the US.

Lebanon appluaded US and French success in getting Syrian troops out of their country. They now suffer from Syria's surrogate, Hizbollah.

Even less "popular" are al Qaeda in Iraq and Palestinian terrorists in Gaza.

Sunni tribes have turned against al Qaeda because of their heavy handed tactics and mass murders and now support the US. Violence in Iraq has dropped as a result.

You don't have to believe me. Click to "The Human Security Report". International terrorism dropped 40 percent in the latter half of 2007. It dropped 55 percent in Iraq. Thanks US.

The HSR for 2006 reported that wars since the end of the Cold War have dropped 75 percent. Thanks again US.

"Talking (to terrorist states) is not Kowtowing"? Yes it is.

Talking to terrorists and those who support them is to acknowledge them and give them legitimacy. It would be a slap in the face of our allies in the Mideast who suffer the most.

It is for terrorists states and their surrogates to ask our terms, not the other way around. Those terms have been stated.

If Barak Obama has the same opinion as you about legitimizing terrorist states, he should not be President.
