Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along.

Who are these some?

Well, I'm not naming names, but they might be someone who like KARL MARX wrote multiple books or like IDI AMIN who was of African descent or like ADOLPH HITLER who had had a Caucasian mother or like JOHN WAYNE GACY who lived most of his life in Illinois or like KIM JUNG IL who is not very good at bowling or like POL POT who is a darwinian descendant from simians or like JACK THE RIPPER who had a last name -- "Ripper" -- with six letters or like HANNIBAL LECTER who once enjoyed a nice Chianti or like INCURABLE AND VERY DEADLY AVIAN FLU which is a carbon based life-form.

If your American counterparts are really willing to trust Senator Karl Idi Adolph John Wayne Kim Jung Pol Jack The Hannibal Currently Incurable and Very Deadly Avian Flu with the Presidency of the United States of America... well... don't say I didn't warn you.

Not-- Not that I'm talking about anyone in particular.

Too subtle?
