I don't mean diplomatic-style handshakes. Chavez has been allying himself a lot with Ahmedijanad and he's invited him over to Venezuela in very public overtures.
Again, I'm just saying that if we actually support progressive regimes, we shouldn't be looking the other way when leaders we support work too closely with leaders of horribly theocratic regimes. Would I shake hands with the president of Iran? As a show of common, gentleman courtesy, yes. Would I then say, "hey, come over to my country...let's talk about how our two countries can get closer", nah, not me.
My 2 cents.
