Let's Talk

Imagine what could be accomplished in America if its leaders valued wit and wisdom as much as they do looking and sounding tough. Couldn't help but laugh, in a bitter-irony sort of way as opposed to actual amusement, to hear GWB -- boss of the most secretive government in America's history -- argue that the secretive nature of the North Koreans makes it undesirable to negotiate with them. If there's a good reason not to talk to our axis-of-evil enemies, it escapes my powers of comprehension.
