Hail Diplomatic Consensus and Fall into Terrorist Hell

Madeleine Albright, in her article "Bridges, Bombs, and Bluster", published in Foreign Affairs, criticizes the Bush administration in its war against Iraq, for using the "shock of force" to trump "the good work of diplomacy". Both the substance and the tenor of her argument, reveal her irrepressible desire and concern to defend her metier, as the former primary diplomat in the Clinton administration, as well as justify the latter's timorous and inutile stand against terror. Precisely, to quote her, "Clinton show terror as a team enterprise, not a solo act", because of this misperception, Clinton's administration failed to do anything effective against terror during his two terms in office.

Lol, quite funny , coming from Madelaine abright, who supported a deadly policy in iraq for 8 years, which had nothing to do with diplomacy.

That post gave me almost nothing to go on. What was the point again?
- is there terrorists in Haiti now? Is America feeling threatened by them? {lol


Canada's own Diplomat, here Rt. Hon Governer General M Jean , is also in Haiti now.

Its hard to tell what side she is supporting, hopefully it is the right side, concerned about people and not fake terrorism or the War on Drugs or military installations or the global trade interests of corporations.

"Local economies" are needed first, and from there people have an equal opportunity before Elite Wealthy people are created.

. If she supports the new government recently elected in Haiti , hopefully is the one that represents the common people, the poorest ones. There has been a trio of factions fighting it out - gangs and politicos and military - and the whole scene got cluttered by American's interests in this former French colony. The poorest ones are the "Haitian originals" and they took the hardest hit - economically and politically at least - from the fighting.

Note that the fighting was largely inspired by foriegn governments trying to re-make Haiti in their own image. At least GG Jean is originally Haitian!!
