Simply talking with terrorist organization and countries is not going to do anything. I really like the Hitler analogy to describe this, if we had talked with Hitler, it wouldn't have changed anything, he still would have killed all of those people. If the United States were to talk to countries without preconditions and then they attacked, thats going to make the US look like dumb asses. There are certain national and international protocol for meeting with these organizations, and Obama ignoring them won't help a thing.

So, how can one justify supporting Barack Obama when he plans on surrendering a war that we are winning and plans on meeting with terrorist organizations with hopes of talking them out of whatever they are going to do, when we all know good and well that's impossible?

ETA: I'm not trying to offend anyone, I'm trying to antagonize liberals or Obama supporters, I'm just merely curious about why people are supporting such an obviously inexperienced candidate.
Sen. Obama has stated, several times for the record, that he would NOT
talk to any one prior to lower level meetings. And Bush is Currently going against his own statements along the same lines.

And which war are we winning?
I spent several hours on Monday talking to Veterans and soldiers.
While they are good to go, I am not to sure about our politics and policies that got them there and what is going on now left alone in a few months.
