Today on Rachel Maddow's radio show on Air America, she represented as equivalent, the idea of Secretary of State Rice talking with foreign leaders to Presidential Candidate Obama pledging to meet unconditionally with state sponsors of terror, such as the President of Iran and dictators such as the leader of North Korea. When Secretary of State Rice talks with a foreign leader, it does not bring quite the same prestige as an unconditional meeting with the President of the United States. And that is that job of the Secretary of State... talk with foreign leaders and representatives. She also represented that since the President of Iraq was meeting face to face with the President of Iran, that makes him a "Nazi Appeaser" as President George W. Bush represented in a recent speech. However, the President of Iraq meeting with Iran is no where near the level of prestige of a meeting with any representative of the United States.
