James A. Baker: Appeaser

Former Bush Secretary of State, former Reagan Chief of Staff James Baker:

BAKER: You don’t just talk to your friends, you talk to your enemies as well. Diplomacy involves talking to your enemies. You don’t reward your enemies necessarily by talking to them if you are tough and you know what you are doing. You don’t appease them. Talking to an enemy is not in my view appeasement.

Why is James Baker talking like a Nazi appeaser? What's his problem?
