My bone of contention with the "foreign policy professionals" is that, like many professionals, they sometimes lose sight of the forest for the trees. Not to pick on John, but he often times exhibits the model behavior to which I refer: he ignores the content because the form is incorrect, the sources are improperly cited, or the voice is not sufficiently bland. Professionals develop an insular culture which becomes so rigid with care for protocol, that they become paralyzed.

When the history is written, nobody will remember whether Bush was nice to the French and followed proper protocol for being snippy to each other. They will remember whether Chirac, or Bush, was RIGHT.
