Diplomacy Means Talking to the "Bad Guys"

Cenk Uygur points out the obvious in Diplomacy Means Talking to the "Bad Guys".

"Remember that every Republican and Democratic president before Bush has talked to our enemies in the Middle East and beyond. Reagan had summits with the evil empire again and again. The only exception was Iran because of the Iranian hostage crisis. But we found a way to have meaningful and productive conversations with all other countries through all other presidencies -- until this one. "

"In the end, Nancy Pelosi looks reasonable and diplomatic and Bush looks childish and irresponsible. If conservatives want to keep harping on this, be my guest. We'll take the position of diplomacy and you take the position of not talking to any "bad guys," and see if that works out for you."

Talking Points Memo has more on this.
