Eighth Day is correct to take this position. However, by inviting the corrupt and anti-American political leaders, there is a greater chance that we will be able to practice our alleged freedoms without arrests and police beatings like those that occurred on March 20, 2003. Daley reacted the same way Saddam Hussein would react. They're just teaching us what it's like to live under a dictator. Durban initially called Bush's actions in Iraq similar to Nazi tactics. In fact Hitler claimed the invasion of Poland was a necessary preemptive act to secure Germany. Durban was attacked fiercely for speaking the truth. Apparently he will never do that again.

Most alarming is how Russia is reacting. It knows a megalomaniac from invasions by Hitler, Napoleon, Charles V and numerous others. Megalomaniacs seem to be unable to resist the temptation to invade Russia. How could our megalomaniac and his madman sidekick resist what stronger, smarter and saner dictators and kings couldn't?

We can't compromise with our internal enemies which will only encourage them to invade Russia.
