That's kind of my thinking, votes in no way can relieve people of their crimes and terror ways. And with those still there, I find it impossible to consider them legit. Hezbollah taking over Iran... And what if ISIS runs and is elected in Iraq? Bomb them one day and recognize them the next? So many groups and many countries, but NONE of them, IMO, should ever be considered legitimate, or recognized by other countries, or have any relations at all, IMO.

"We do not negotiate with terrorists"

I think that should include giving them any type of legitimacy at all.
