ENGAGING WITH IRAN AND SYRIA REGARDING IRAQ WILL BE AS FRUITFUL AS ENGAGING WITH THEM ON ANYTHING ELSE

HOW HAS THE WEST'S ENGAGEMENT WITH SYRIA GONE REGARDING THE HARIRI AFFAIR?

Awful. They've even continued to assassinate their Lebanese foes.

HOW HAS THE WEST'S ENGAGEMENT WITH IRAN GONE REGARDING NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION?

Awful. They continue to violate the NPT and thumb their noses at the UN, the IAEA and everyone else.

Engaging with Syria and Iran on Iraq will be just as awful. There isn't a rational reason to even try. It's worse than an exercise in futility; it will actually embolden them to be even more destabilizing and dangerous.

There hasn't been an idea this dumb since the last time Rangel opened his mouth. Or Hagel. Or Kerry. Sheesh.

Defies belief that the West even considers "dialogue" with Syria.

Surreal!
