Colin Powell says we should talk to Iran and Syria. Obviously he forgets the words that Ronald Reagan declared on June 18th 1985 during a televised press conference:
“Let me further make it plain to the assassins in Beirut and their accomplices, wherever they may be, that America will never make concessions to terrorists — to do so would only invite more terrorism — nor will we ask nor pressure any other government to do so. Once we head down that path there would be no end to it, no end to the suffering of innocent people, no end to the bloody ransom all civilized nations must pay.”
