Quote of the Day: Meddling in Iran

The quote:
If we're going to be blamed for meddling in Iranian affairs, we might as well actually meddle!

Why would just speaking up undermine his strategy of talking? I mean, Iran continues to support operations that kill American soldiers and continues to support terrorists. Yet that doesn't make President Obama less likely to talk to Ahmadinejad. Why must we walk on egg shells to appease thugs like Ahmadinejad?
And if I may mangle the words of a famous American founder, "If this be meddling, then make the most of it!"

I have always found the extreme logical outcome of "realism" in international relations to be a convenient excuse for moral cowardice and the willingness to condemn other people to misery in the name of "stability."
