It was a diplomatic trip, but......Obama has been talking about meeting with Iran which would start out diplomatic I'd presume. Diplomacy is a way to open the door.

So please, tell me how Mao was like Saddam or terrorists or murdering thugs. It should be quite humorous.

Kill tally: 14 to 20 million deaths from starvation during the 'Great Leap Forward'. Tens of thousands killed and millions of lives ruined during the 'Cultural Revolution'.

What did Reagan negotiate with Gorbachev? What nations did Russia invade and get kicked out of by the UN? The notion that Sadam's dictatorship can be compared to Gorbachev and Russia is absurd in the extreme as are most of your arguments.

They negotiated on nuclear weapons control, but I think it fell through, Reagan said "the Berlin Wall" needed to come down, and it did. Don't know how much Reagan's influence had on that one. Gorbachev tried to give more power to the people, and this was another way of doing it.

I can't see any similarities.

I have a pretty low opinion of Liberals who desperately reach for absurd arguments to support their weak philosophical positions because they lack the most basic intellectual honesty.
Carry on.

Not super liberal myself, but I'm getting more and more so because the conservatives have a lot of really weak arguments as well. I'm not getting convinced that all their plans are really that good for the country.
