Lieberman Always Worth Listening To

Democrats and Our Enemies - WSJ.com

There are of course times when it makes sense to
engage in tough diplomacy with hostile governments. Yet what Mr. Obama
has proposed is not selective engagement, but a blanket policy of
meeting personally as president, without preconditions, in his first
year in office, with the leaders of the most vicious, anti-American
regimes on the planet.
Mr. Obama has said that in proposing this, he is
following in the footsteps of Reagan and JFK. But Kennedy never met
with Castro, and Reagan never met with Khomeini. And can anyone imagine
Presidents Kennedy or Reagan sitting down unconditionally with
Ahmadinejad or Chavez? I certainly cannot.
If a president ever embraced our worst enemies in this way, he would strengthen them and undermine our most steadfast allies.
A great Democratic secretary of state, Dean Acheson,
once warned "no people in history have ever survived, who thought they
could protect their freedom by making themselves inoffensive to their
enemies." This is a lesson that today's Democratic Party leaders need
to relearn.


Senator Lieberman is the only incumbent I would vote for. Throw out al the other bums of both parties.
