Because clearly, considering dialogue with nations like Iran means just that. (I can't get over the fact the Bush administration's top guy on Iran for three years wasn't allowed to talk to any Persian. I mean, what the hell?)

I wouldn't defriend, because it's good to have one's own convictions challenged now and then, and my three right wingers themselves are always polite. (Some people on their flist, otoh, break into crazy rants at the drop of a hat.)
