More debate...

Should the U.S. negotiate with regimes that we believe to be terrorists or rogue regimes.?

CS: Lower level negotiations important. Good realtime info necessary.

CP: More negotiation than we have now. Presidents policies were misguided, and talked about war too much. That is wrong. We ended cold war with diplomacy. Foreign countries don’t respect us and we should change that. Need more troop strength. Going into Iran would be implausible. We cannot afford Iraq, and we certainly can’t afford Iraq.

CS: Iraqi’s, Syrian’s, and Jordanian’s respect us and our military.

CP: Better diplomacy

What about the attack in Syria?

CS: Justified—they were attacking our troops.

CP: Nuanced policy from the Bush administration. This makes our life harder.
