A confrontation is not always necessary. When we rebuke or spank our kids, we don't go around doing it in full sight of everyone. True enough, you don't want to damage their self-esteem. But Saudi Arabia is not a kid, and too often in diplomacy the strength of the message is lost by continuous filtering and positioning. What Guiliani said was straightforward; what the Prince did in his statement was like pouring oil on a fire. He should have known better. mike@massmurderisnotimetobequietlyeffective.com ;)
