Quote du Jour

[Boomerang Diddle]

We had this debate throughout the campaign, and the whole notion was, is that somehow if we showed courtesy or opened up dialogue with governments that had previously been hostile to us, that that somehow would be a sign of weakness. The American people didn’t buy it. And there’s a good reason the American people didn’t buy it, because it doesn’t make sense.
— President Barack Obama, responding to Republican criticism of him greeting Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez.

3. That's a sign of strength, courage, resolve and confidence,

shutting out unpleasant communication because you don't agree with another nation's political point of view is a sign of weakness and fear.
