The behavior of those states can also be influenced by isolating them and sanctioning them,
which is exactly what Pelosi as well as the majority of our government decided to do in the Syria Accountability Act. Pelosi herself waxed poetic about how great it was that our President would be given, under the Act, the freedom to impose sanctions on the Syrian government which he did by Executive Order, after Powell's last ditch efforts to "talk to them" as you put it. Now all of a sudden Pelosi doesn't like the amount of U.S. "talking to them"? Bullshit.
BTW -- is that what we do with people who sponsor terrorism and help kill our soldiers? We keep "talking to them"? "Common sense" indeed.
