Appeasement?

Lying bastards. These stupid republicans lash out with a talking point on "appeasement" concerning Obama's foreign policy. Not only did they confuse diplomacy and appeasement, the Bush administration turns around and a day later gives food aid to North Korea. North Korea was labelled part of the axis of evil by the Bush administration and food aid was stopped because of that. We all know North Korea has developed nuclear weapons and tested the missiles to carry them. Not only is the bush administration using diplomacy with North Korea, they are aiding them with food shipments.
