Ann Coulter's latest column is exactly right. The synopsis is:
There are three times to engage a dictator:
Senator Obama's desire to meet without precondition with America's state enemies conform to none of these, unless his 'preparations' mean something a whole lot different than what they seem to mean.
Marc Ambinder has more.

Would you meet diplomatically with these countries' leaders?
There are three times to engage a dictator:
- When you are looking for an ally against some other dictatorship (Nixon w/ China)
- When you have to - because they can hold you equally at risk (Engagement with the USSR)
- When you are accepting their surrender (MacArthur w/ Imperial Japanese Forces - September 2, 1945)
Senator Obama's desire to meet without precondition with America's state enemies conform to none of these, unless his 'preparations' mean something a whole lot different than what they seem to mean.
