Dirty Greek - John Negroponte Answers Your Questions

People will listen when they're ready to listen and not before. Probably, once upon a time, you weren't ready to listen to an idea than now seems to you obvious, even urgent. Let people come to it in their own time. Nagging or bullying will only alienate them. Don't preach. Don't waste time with people who want to argue. They'll keep you immobilized forever. Look for people who are already open to something new.

John Negroponte, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, will discuss the upcoming elections in Iraq Friday at 3pm (ET). Submit your questions now.

I suggest you ask him something about his connection and knowledge of human rights abuses in Honduras while Ambassador to that nation. Ask him why he lied to Congress and the Amerian people about those abuses to keep his job.

You should also ask him about the Salvador Option in Iraq, in which the Pentagon is intensively debating an option that dates back to a still-secret strategy in the Reagan administrations battle against the leftist guerrilla insurgency in El Salvador in the early 1980s. Then, faced with a losing war against Salvadoran rebels, the U.S. government funded or supported "nationalist" forces that allegedly included so-called death squads directed to hunt down and kill rebel leaders and sympathizers. Eventually the insurgency was quelled, and many U.S. conservatives consider the policy to have been a success.
