It’s hard to admit, but we envy famous people.

President Bush gave a controversial speech yesterday while celebrating the 60th anniversary of Israel. The President used the speech as an opportunity to condemn those who would negotiate with “terrorists and radicals.” After linking Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Osama Bin Laden, President Bush stated: Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorist and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks rolled across Poland in 1939 an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is – the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.
