Re: War in the Ruins of Diplomacy

John: I honestly believe that our President and his Administration have let us all down...Effective diplomacy is like running a marathon and they stopped after the first 5 kilometer mark...It became clear quite some time ago that they were NOT committed to running the race for a peaceful resolution to disarming Iraq.

IMO, it will eventually become apparent to mainstream America that bad diplomacy will have a devastating impact -- 'that sacrificing the UN and NATO was not worth the price of dealing with Iraq militarily right now.'

Even Harvard's Michael Ignatieff has acknowledged that The Bush Administration has done a lot of damage to American prestige and credibility...The unilateral use of force in 'a pre-emptive way' may come back to haunt us for years to come.
