Pelosi was nuts! I didn't say it.

Claudia Rosett slams Nancy Pelosifor her idiotic trip to Damascus.

Pelosi demonstrates the key belief that so many of her ilk hold and that is the absolute fatal flaw in their world view, that people around the world are the same and that governments around the world are the same. And that we all want the same things.

It is simply not the case and it is at best naive to believe it is.

I won't bring up all the obvious cases of diplomatic failures that suffered from this starting belief, there are too many in the last 100 years to list.
