Subject: The value of talking to one another is indisputable: Larry there is no sense for President Bush to fault Pelosi for her trip to the Middle East. She did what every mother would do instinctively when she feels the man falls short of meeting his home responsibilities — she took charge of the house! I want to praise House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for doing the right thing and talking to the Syrians. We will not make peace between our respective countries if we do not talk. Last week, a historic peace agreement was made between old enemies Ian Paisley and Gerry Adams in my hometown of Belfast, Northern Ireland. This peace process was begun by a man named John Hume, who sat down and talked to the terrorists on both sides. It was a long, hard journey, but it has brought peace. We need to do the same thing in the Mideast. Paul

RESPONSE: The recommendation of both Democrats and Republicans on the Iraq Study Group was to talk to both Iran and Syria. This President is simply too pigheaded to change course and does not care about the blood on his hands...he needs to be impeached.
