To do otherwise is a fourth-grade approach to diplomacy and foreign policy which has been one of this Administration's great weaknesses. Think about it? Should Reagan have refused to talk to the Soviets? And we talked to worse (if that is possible) under both RR's administration and his successors.

You don't think that talking to the Iranians right now, and appealing to them for help, is going to make it more difficult for us to convince them to discontinue their pursuit of nuclear weapons?
