<<<U.S. diplomacy is something else. As evidenced in its dealings with Vietnam,
Nicaragua, Panama, Iraq, and now Yugoslavia, it
consists of laying down a set of demands that are treated as nonnegotiable, though
called "accords" or "agreements," as in the
Rambouillet agreements. The other side's reluctance to accede to every condition is
labeled "stonewalling," and is publicly
misrepresented as an unwillingness to negotiate in good faith. U.S. leaders, we hear, run
out of patience as their "offers" are
"snubbed." Ultimatums are issued, then military destruction is delivered upon the
recalcitrants so that they might learn to see
things the way Washington does. >>>>
