Wow! Awesome response - 2 posts!!! Does that mean we're all already living the dream? Of just dreaming of a world where the Takeaway doesn't exist?

Do everyone a favor--end the embarrassment. Cancel the Takeaway; it's awful.

The news that Israel & Syria are having secret talks completely validates President Carter's recent meeting with Hamas. It underlines the diplomatic tone-deafness of the current administration which is totally hamstrung by it's We Never Talk To Terrorists Or Their Supporters rhetoric. Thus, we are constantly out of the mix, and can only, lamely, "approve" of the talks when we get blind-sided by the news.
