WB, you don't see a difference in acting as a mediator between sides in a civil war to prevent another million or so deaths and negotiating with a government that actively supports terrorism and is pursuing nukes? I do.

I don't even think its a stretch, much less a "snap in two" proposition. I did say I had a problem with the whole Syria thing, so I clearly draw a distinction.
