I missed how "mild" the observation was. I have to change my calibration for mildness now. I hate having to recalibrate. Oh well. <g>

I had not realized that advocacy and statesmanship were mutually exclusive terms. When Churchill was using all of his rhetorical powers to rally the people of Britain to resist the Nazis, I guess he was not acting like a Statesman, but an Advocate or Partisan. Perhaps he should have listened and tried to incorporate other points of view: pro- Nazi, defeatist, pacifist, those in favor of cutting an immediate deal, those in favor of waiting a couple of months to get a better deal, whatever. Then, perhaps, he would qualify as a Statesman.

Or it is possible that Statesmanship is something different than you seem to suggest? Have to think about that one......
