Comment by Charles Lambert October 3, 2007 @ 8:32 amYeah, Ken worries me sometimes. I understand that as a grown-up politician [as opposed to just someone banging away on a laptop] you have to engage with people, and I understand the attraction of Chavez, and I get that it’s overly simplistic to treat Iran in an “axis of evil” frame of mind, but he needs to be careful.
