“Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists 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 crossed into 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.”
--President George W. Bush
