I'm confused, when did this change and who's bright idea was it?
Okay, now recently I've been barely following the news. Just a little of my attention has been captured in the mornings when I'm half asleep, but something stuck out.
I was under the impression that we, as the US, did not converse with terrorists or the like, such as North Korea. So why is it that our government's Secretary of State is speaking to North Korea? When did that 'no negotiation' policy change and why?
Who decided we should speak to them?
I hope this is in the right section, and if it's not, please forgive me.
Rickinnocal (hope I got the name right) thank you for explaining it in a way that didn't demean a political party or figure.
As soon as I can, those 10 points for Best Answer go to you!

The official US policy of "No negotiating with terrorists" does not extend to having no government - government contact with countries that sponsor it.
There have been ongoing negotiations with North Korea for years, under both Clinton and Bush.

It's not "negotiation", because they're not pointing their nukes at us. It's foreign relations, and after the past 8 years, I can understand why it's not something you're used to.
