U.S. Senator John Kerry, the Democratic candidate for the presidency in 2004, said on Thursday the U.S. administration should engage in dialogue with Syria and Iran.
"I think it's important to talk and have dialogue, but you don't give up your principles and you don't make deals that are against your larger interest," Kerry told reporters after talks with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
"Syria needs to understand that and Iran needs to understand that, but I think it's important to begin a discussion," added Kerry, a Massachusetts senator.
Kerry, who is considering a second bid for the U.S. presidency, cited the example of late President Ronald Reagan calling the Soviet Union "the evil empire" but not hesitating to negotiate with then Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev.
Kerry left the Uunited States on Wednesday for a nine-day visit of the Middle East, including Iraq, and a meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, but not a visit to Iran.
Fellow Democratic senator Bill Nelson of Florida met Assad in Damascus on Wednesday and said he saw an opening for dialogue with Syria.
President George W. Bush, who has resisted pressure to hold talks with Syria and Iran, issued a statement on Wednesday calling on Syria to "immediately free all political prisoners" and "cease its efforts to undermine Lebanese sovereignty."
Washington accuses Syria of allowing weapons and fighters to cross the border into Iraq, which Syria denies.

I have no problem with Kerry doing that; as long as he first waits for the radioactivity to die down to a reasonably safe level.

He wants to do more than that to Syria and Iran in the rear. :P

This is the history of liberal democrats, they go to to our most vilest, evil enemies and then wimp out in front of them. Look at that anti-semite Jimmy Carter's visit to North Korea when Clinton was in the White House.

With senators like kerry who needs enemies. These politicians will kiss any tush in the world if they think they can get political mileage our of it.
