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

What does China invading nations have to do with anything? They were still a brutal communist dictatorship that had killed up to 20 million of their own people (thank you marilyn), kept the rest of their population in extreme subjection, and threatened us with a mature nuclear weapon system.

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

Please, tell me what Sadaam has to do with anything? I believe the country Obama discussed meeting with was Iran, not Iraq. As to how China was like Iran, you're right, there's no comparison, Mao's China was much worse.

What nations did Russia invade and get kicked out of by the UN?
|
Russia was holding all of Eastern Europe under its grip, and if they never got kicked out, it was only because they were too powerful.

I disagree, both were brutal dictatorships that held absolute sway over their people. The biggest difference was that Russia was much bigger and more powerful, and much more of a threat to us. But again, where does sadaam fit in?

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.

Please, stop with the personal attacks, its annoying. Can you explain to me why it was ok for Reagan and Nixon to meet with Gorbachev and Mao, but why its not ok for Obama to meet with the president of Iran?
