Appeasement will work for PRESIDENT OBAMA ! ! ! , LOL
Reader comment on item: Appease Iran?
Submitted by Phil Greend (Canada), Oct 21, 2008 at 21:10
In all of recorded history, appeasement has never worked. Evil people do not change, ever. No matter how much of your pride, money, land or soul that you give up to them will change the nature of who they are.
They are people who want it all. Nothing less than 100% of everything.
The people of radical islam only want one thing. For the whole world to submit to islam.
