They could call it the "We're Holding Your President At An Undisclosed Location Summit";
In Monday's debate from Charleston, S.C., Obama was asked by a questioner via YouTube if he would be willing to meet - without precondition - in the first year of his presidency with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea. "I would," he responded.Posted by Kate at July 25, 2007 12:10 AM

Has taliban jack offered his support yet?
Posted by: ural at July 25, 2007 1:26 AMWould Obama pardon Charles Manson too? If not why not?
Posted by: philanthropist at July 25, 2007 1:59 AMPersonally, I don't think they all should be painted with the same brush. The embargo against Cuba has largely outlived its usefulness, IMO. Venezuela is a bigger threat to the region. Same with Iran and Syria. Iran may get all the press, but they can be mostly talked to these days. And North Korea... well, if you ask me, they're international attention-seekers more than anything.

Posted by: Farmer Ben at July 25, 2007 7:17 AMIran can be what? Talked to? Are you kidding?. If that madman gets his hands on nuclear weapons, look the f#$% out. We need to level Tehran today, and who cares about collateral damage. Better a few thousand dead Iranians, than a North American city wiped out by a nuclear weapon. The best defense is a good offense. And if we don't, the Israelis will surely do the job for us.
Posted by: kingstonlad at July 25, 2007 7:22 AMWE can't get along because WE = SUM(I). Some of the I are violent criminals, unwilling to work and bent on intimidating the West into providing financial aid or unreasonably high prices for natural resources.
Iran can be... shot at. Talking is futile.

Posted by: mark peters at July 25, 2007 9:52 AMIt has been interesting to watch Castro over the years resurrect every issue possible each time a potentiontail move is made from the U.S.A. to improve relations. Castro needs hostile relations with the Americans in order to stay in Power. He works hard to continue the battle of words.
Insofar as the other attention getters are concerned, we could and perhaps should ignore them if the did not have bombs, armies, rockets and the operations to finance terror.
Some world leaders talked to Hitler and that did such a lot of good, now didn't it?
For the warm fuzzy masses here in North America
talking sounds so good.

Castro has enough problems trying to not drool and piss on his fatigues right now -- he doesn't need more problems with the U.S.
Nothing wrong with talking if you know what to say!
I can think of several things that would be totally appropriate for each of these scatbags.

Nobody is going to bomb Canada unless we're stupid enough to ally ourselves with the Americans.

Fortunately the current head of CENTCOM has more sense than you do. It ain't happening.
That thing you see on the far horizon is reality. Anytime you want to pop by for a visit you're welcome.

"GOD NO!, pleeeease, Uhhh huhuhu, Kill her first, pleaaase, don't kill me, Uhhh huhuhuh I'll, I'll do anything, pleeeasssse!"
Now, if they can all meet at the same time and in the same location, then I say BRAVO! And while they're meeting, we then lay a kingstonlad lovin' on them.
