Obama's offer of diplomacy, as expected, is being viewed as a sign of weakness by Islamism

When Conservatives criticize Barack Obama for his naive, and frankly stupid, offer to negotiate with Iran without any pre-conditions, and for the President himself to participate in that diplomacy, the liberal left immediately assumes that the Right believes negotiating with an enemy is always a bad thing to do. Of course that has never been the case. But, when dealing with an ideology like the Islamic Jihad, any open dialogue with them will be seen by Islamic leaders as passive and weak.

Conservatives have been proclaiming this to be the truth since Obama first uttered the insane suggestion of talking with Ahmadinejad, Iran's President, without any pre-conditions way back during the debates early on during the presidential primaries.

Now, even the Iranian leadership is confirming what Conservatives have said all along. Specifically, the headline reads: Iran Says Obama's Offer To Talk Shows US failure. One quote in the article reads: This request means Western ideology has become passive.

So Liberals, understand that I am serious when I say, "I told you so!"
