In his inaugural address, John F. Kennedy said, “Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.”
Nowadays a lot of politicans of both parties seem utterly terrified at the idea of sitting down with people we don’t agree with.
I guess they’re afraid that when they sat down with Fidel Castro, for example, they would instantly be powerless to say anything but “Yes, master! What is your bidding?”
Really, if those politicians are such pushovers, I don’t want them negotiating with our friends, let alone our enemies. Get ’em out of politics altogether, I say.
