Will the free world ever learn? You cannot negotiate with radical regimes and to do so is foolish, we know appeasement does not work. You give them something for acting out, they demand more, it is an obvious lesson one learns as a parent. You do not reward bad behavior.

It does your family no good and in this case it is not good for the forward progression of mankind in the present period or future periods. Indeed we should know better as it has never worked in all the recorded history of past periods either.

When you fail to discipline your children you are not helping them or assisting them in learning for the future. You are asking for more abuse from the child, as he or she grows older, more manipulative and physically stronger.

Failure to deal with issues in the world like Iran with nuclear weapons in the future is dangerous. Especially considered he declared he wanted to blow Israel off the map? Oh, that is special, so now we have a gentleman and I use that term lightly, who has built his political career on threats and promises to get rid of a whole country.

By appeasing North Korea and allowing Iran to witness this action, now we have two children demanding more chocolate chip cookies and if we give them more, there will be more children lining up, you watch. So do consider this in 2006.
