MAKE DIPLOMACY, NOT WAR
• http://ericmargolis.com, by Eric MargolisI have high regard for the arts of diplomacy. They are a hallmark of civilized behavior. Four decades ago, I almost joined the US diplomatic service but decided against it, fearing my big mouth would land me in hot water.
As an almost diplomat and veteran foreign affairs commentator, I’ve been watching Republicans go after the Obama administration’s UN ambassador, Susan Rice. They are trying to somehow pin the death of the US ambassador to Libya last September on Rice, who had originally claimed the attack that killed him was caused by mob violence over an anti-Muslim hate video rather than a “terrorist” attack.

First the terrorists attack us in 9/11. Then they use that as an excuse to attack Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan (drones), and soon, Iran.
The premise of this article would indicate that Obama has been passing around his copy of the Koran.
Yeh, sure. Aren't all the modern-day wars diplomatic wars? The closest thing we have to a non-diplomatic war is a terrorist attack.
