Jonas Gahr Støre: In defense of dialogue

Knaragus Says:

Jan 16, 2012 - Typical norwegian politic - Talk, discuss and make compomises of ideas - Well it works, BECAUS WE HAVE OIL! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Knaragus Says:

Jan 16, 2012 - Oh, btwPetter solberg + vocabulary = Jonas Gahr Støre

eroceanos Says:

Jan 16, 2012 - Who set up the armed rebels, I wonder?

Eetaq Says:

Jan 16, 2012 - We did. Feb 17th was declared via facebook as the day to go out and protest. The facebook group had 100,000 people on it, and on Feb 15th the earliest protests began. By the 17th, the slaughter had begun. If Gaddafi had decided to listen, and not to slaughter, things may have gone differently.

Eetaq Says:

Jan 16, 2012 - Wrong. It's because Gaddafi supporters continued resisting until he was killed. After Gaddafi was killed, the shelling of Sirte stopped. If they didn't want their city destroyed, they could have stopped killing in Gaddafi's name.

Eetaq Says:

Jan 16, 2012 - Anwar al Awlaki was an american citizen, assassinated. All those Taliban drone attacks are assassinations. Who is the idiot?

tantzer Says:

Jan 16, 2012 - If you accept the idea of destroying civilian cities, that is your choice: so did Qaddafi. But my point is that it shows that NATO's claim was a lie: NATO was not there to protect civilian areas from destruction: NATO's aim was to change the regime. NATO didn't care that the new Libyan government shelled Sirte for three weeks, destroying every building in it.

tantzer Says:

Jan 16, 2012 - The Talk's Bottom-line: We should talk to the US even though it's a rogue, terrorist state.

Jan 16, 2012 - Vote Ron Paul, Get A Free Country!

ThisIsMyUserNameVT Says:

Jan 17, 2012 - You have oil because the guy representing Denmark, that had to discuss who gets what, was drunk :(

Eetaq Says:

Jan 19, 2012 - Ok. So what? As Nietzsche said, lying in and of itself is neither moral nor immoral. Only the repurcussions of a lie can be moral or immoral. Telling a lie that earns your friend his dream job is a moral act. Telling a lie that gets rid of a ruthless tyrant is also a moral act. And I thank NATO for that lie, because that's what it took to get China and Russia to abstain from veto.

Feb 1, 2012 - We should use words insted of guns

Faerlon123 Says:

Feb 2, 2012 - The most important point he makes here though, is that talking is not the same as endorsing, or agreeing. One of the huge failures of American foreign policy in my opinion, is that they never talk to anyone they don't like, or agree with. Talking and having a discussion about certain topics might help solve alot of issues. Like Cuba for instance. They never talk to Cuba, now some 40 years after the Cold War. It's shameful.

Feb 5, 2012 - Sometimes it's good to talk to people because that's how you find out it useless because their world view is so distorted. You find their dellusions, you find their vulnerabilities. and you exploit them to your ends. Internal conflicts often prevent external conflicts. Iran was in the middle of a civil war, no one would worried aout a nuclear program.  Talking through a problem only works on people that can reluctantly tolerate coexistanceIsreal has always been willing to talk.

SOSTacoJohnson Says:

Feb 19, 2012 - its funny cus all you morons probably still think u run your democracies. LOL you simpletons. Not even worth the ground you sit over. You think countries invade other countries with the intention of settling disputes? The idea is to start them. Only in rare instances such as the iraq invasion of kuwait was war used to settle a dispute. Everything since has been a power grab. You fucking morons.

Ighart Says:

Feb 19, 2012 - 30 idiots.

Oskoreii Says:

Feb 23, 2012 - I am, right now, a little proud to be norwegian :]

Norwegiian Says:

Mar 3, 2012 - Haha, funny. If you by sensibile mean a naive fuck that wants to import a million muslims and regulate your life to the fullest you're right.

Mar 5, 2012 - Frp konservativ på sitt verste much? Finn én mer velinformert, mer verdensvandt, mer konstruktiv, målrettet og effektiv person. Vanskelig om ikke umulig.

TheSet271 Says:

Mar 6, 2012 - He is the smartest diplomat I've seen/heard in a very long time. It's obvious he's not puppet-ed from behind by a corporation. He talks about the DE-humanizing of the Palestinians by Israel and that is the main problem that everyone is turning their heads from...at the very least allowing others to turn their heads' for them. Israel must be stopped, the Palestinians weren't the way they are today, Israel made them into terrorists. Both figuratively and literally.
