Appeasing Iran?   Gee, that worked out so well the last time around.  Just ask Jimmy Carter.

A new idea and a cold glass of water would kill these liberals.  They just keep pushing the same failed  ideas over and over again.

And this guy was a university president?  That's scary!

"The only way to promote sustainable peace, stability, and order in Europe is to forge an unholy alliance with Germany -- and accept Germany's dominant influence in Europe. Only by accepting the Third Reich's hegemonic pretensions, odious as they are, can the United States extricate itself somewhat honorably from Europe....Mein Feuhrer!!!"

And it begins. Folks in higher education (not always producing highly educated people) advocating the US bow down to the Iranians. Can these people sink any lower? When I was getting my master's degree in education, I had to read left-wing drivel by people like Noam Chomsky, whose only solution to public education's long-time woes is to tear America down and advocate being less "militaristic," (which is misleading because even the constitution provides for the defense of our country and I don't think that the founders meant a national police force either). Liberals have hijacked higher education and they advocate more communist/socialist standards rather than having any original thoughts. That's why I, as a former educator, worry what's to become of our children when indoctrination is now education and kids can't even think for themselves anymore. This is why many of our kids (and even adults) don't know anything about the constitution, American history, and even their role in the electorate. That's lead to the divisiveness and vulnerability in our national, political landscape today.

I too wet my finger like Herr Rotberg to see which way the wind is blowing.....nah not really that is just silly, plus I would have to kick my own a*&!.

Rotberg's epiphany as a matter of foreign policy should be given as much credence as the opinion of Carter's pal Zbigniew Brzenzinski commenting in the Washington Post the other week that Bush's new plan will fail.

Not like the assertive power projecting foreign policy of the Carter Adminstration that brought the Ayotallahs to heal and think twice about tussling with the United States......Oh wait Ziggy and Jimmy's passivity lead to what the US is dealing with in regards to Iran, again leading to pontifications ala Rotberg.

Again the libtards are abundant in their criticism but vapid in their solutions.

hmm, I wonder if Iran would be interested in a little slice of Iraq in exchange for peace in the broader Middle East? I mean, it was tried with Nazis but, the mullahs aren't like them at all. No similarities what-so-ever. I bet it would work.

And who is Rotberg? Former President of Lafayette College, former professor at MIT, now Director of Harvards's Kennedy School Program on Intrastate Conflict and Conflict Resolution.

You can tell Rotberg works at Harvard by the white flag flying from his car's attenna, and a bumper sticker that says: Appeasement - We can work it out!

If we do that we are inviting a far more devastating war... at some point in the foreseeable future, we'll have to go back in greater numbers. 

Liberalism is a convenient lie.

Hey Mark FWIW, I was looking around at one of my other favorite sites and this post is getting referenced. First link on the list.

I wonder if JFK would agree with him?  I mean he does teach at the Kennedy School!
