ttom500: By the time he is finished...he will be shaking the hands of the FARC leaders, former Communist leaders from the old Soviet Union, Hamas leaders, Hezbollah clerics, shining path leaders, Al Sydar of the Mahdi Army.......
Dear Lord, I hope he does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That would be Mission Impossible...Accomplished!
How the heck else can there be any hope of building bridges, a glimmer of understanding between nations, and of world peace(no, I'm entering 'Ms Mature World' competition!)without such a disparate group of leaders first meeting and shaking hands.
But then, why on earth would one want to do that, right? I mean, a President of the United States, cannot possibly be seen to model such radical ways of communicating, now can he???

what good did the hand shake do?
with respect, ttom, I do not profess to ahve a crystal bass as to what will happen once the hand shakes begin.
But in the event that you are the proud owner of one such instrument of prophesy, please let me know.
I have some pressing personal questions I would love to have you explore for me!!!!!

Venere.....not to kick shin here. The point is that while leaders might shakes, have smiles and even make agreements. If their followers, their fellow countrymen, their militaries, and their gov't don't have the same intent of friendship.....then one still has many problems and conflicts.
I am not saying that they should not talk and shakes hands. But am going to be realistic and say that these problems and conflicts are larger than two leaders simply meeting.
No crystal ball is needed to see this.
But if you want me to dust of the old Crystal ball....fire away....it might be a little dim....and even cracked....but I will give you some interesting predictions.

I would not dream of simplifying the task involved to achieve what is now seen as impossible. But let's cast our mind back to the coming down of the Berlin Wall. Who could have imagined such a thing even a decade before that? Sometimes, the seemingly impossible can happen.
The crystal [BALL(Note jlw!!!) might have to wait. First need to go buy a new keyboard. I would want to ensure my requests to you are not in any way misconstrued!

For another time, soon enough.
If I remember right.....prior to wall falling....you had Ronnie Reagon standing on one side....saying Mr. Gorbachev take down this wall. And on the other side, you had the Soviet Union doing a dance to some hard rock and roll music..to see how many parts could fall off in a very short period of time. Then you have the German people standing on the wall and taking it down.
Not a leadership handshake or agreement in the event.
Which takes me back to point made earlier.
Events like that are often from and of the people.

This is like the high school reunion that you never wanted to attend. But some how did go.......and remembered why it was a mistake to attend High School in the first place.

Note that I made no comment on how the Berlin Wall eventually came down. It was an example of something occurring despite the anticipated impossible odds.
And so I can only suppose that our banter on this thread is somehow contributing to the global handshake.
Now I await a comment by Merc, the expert on shakes I understand!
Yes, I was always suspicious of that Nixon guy as a closet commie after he went to China. He should have embargoed them for 50 years like Cuba....that would have been progressive right-thinking God-fearing politics.

Conrad73: Have some Pride! Don't let your Ignorance shine like that,even though it says not to hide your Light under a Bushel! You are really the "DAMN BUSHNEY",you're just pretending you're on O'Bummer's side! Pretty good acting!
Really truely Conrad evne when I was a kid and heard about those Swiss secret accounts it gave me a true feeling of barf and even back then I knoew a lot of that money is stolen mony of other nations and later I learned right winged regims ANY WHERE are the worse of the worse when thinking a obut stealing the nations money and being a treu kind of trators when it all counts!
Good times brought upon all of us made a true honorable man to make a great decision for all humanity and this new boss in US is really serious about making nasty theif helper nations to act properly .... A dream of mine named in here for more than ayear ago is achieved!
I hate thieves who hide them selves behind nationalism and abusing nations love for their country to make them selves and their relatives rich
