Criticism for GOP

This time in the foreign policy department.  A nation security adviser to Jimmy Carter (Please wait before you comment) used the words "dangerous, embarrassing, and humiliating." He even went so far as to call them liars if they are just posturing, and idiots if they really believe these things. Now, I would just like to say that I would consider this much more news worthy if it had been, say, a Reagan adviser. However, the point being made, that we need an open dialogue, instead of just firing weapons, is very relevant. The last time we shot before asking questions, we got stuck in a ten year long war. So I do agree, but would like to qualify. If talking doesn't work, and we are attacked, then we fire back.
