Guardian: Has an Exclusive report that Obama will talk to Hamas. The article states the talks will be at low level but there will be talks, Reagan talked to Iran and we had Iran - Contra. The problem with talking to rouge nations and terrorists groups is that they play by different rules and the policy can bite you back. One would have thought that President Obama would have learned from past mistakes in the Middle East, all Presidents have attempted some policy path in the Middle East, but most end in failure, Carter has success between Egypt and Israel but then he had Iran hostages that lead to his defeat in 1980. Clinton tried to get a final deal between the Palestinians and Israel that also failed. The Middle East will only be solved when the people of the Middle East grow tired of the violence as the case in Northern Ireland.
