>> Which accomplished what? We ended up at war anyway. Of course. We NEEDED to end up in that war (just as we did the Iraq War). This nonsense that "war is a last resort" is a great talking point. But the reality is that wars are necessary to solve problems. You might want to check out your buddy Thomas Jefferson's thinking on this subject. >> but you made a statement that these two are great negotiators...on what evidence escapes me. A "great negotiator" knows that you are best off negotiating from a position of strength and you NEVER, EVER WANT to do otherwise. But when forced to, you get the best possible outcome. I believe both Rice and Baker exemplify this approach. Contrast it with the gross incompetence of Albright. Little else to say on this subject.
