This has to be the most Internationally inept administration of all time.

Definitely not. They always mention that all options are open including diplomacy. But diplomacy has always been implemented only when it gets a little too late. Or when it benefits only them and their allies. Diplomacy is of no use when its of benefit for anyone else. As for now, Syria is open to diplomacy and the American admin think that there's no point for it. The same goes to diplomacy during Arafat's era and the american admin doesnt even wanna lend an ear. The excuse is that their partner for negotiation is not strong enough. And have the american admin even care for diplomacy during saddam's era in iraq? If indeed, diplomacy is the no 1 priority, Lebanon and Israel would have a cease fire by now. But the american admin mentioned that they believe neither side wanted a cease fire. its a bunch of crap. They wanted the destruction to go on. Why? Cos it will only benefit them and their allies. Doesnt matter about the rest of the world. Why? Cos their lives aint worth it, thats why. And when the american admin require Syria to be involved and now they claim they wanted to, a certain Mr Bolton had to say that its no use to talk to the Syrian. So it make me wonder, what is the point at all for Condi Rice to even go to the middle east to show support to the lebanese government when indeed the support is not being given thru any actions? Does condi rice or the american understand the meaning of diplomacy? Yes.. only when it matters to their side of the fence. American government is no longer the right candidate to be a mediator for any diplomatic process in this world. The selfish thinking and one sided ideology of this regime is not fit enough anymore for such things and the rest of the world have realised it.. yet still not much are still being done about it. Maybe soon.. I hope.. for the sake of peace in this world

Actually, humanist, if you were paying attention, you would know that this "inept" administration ALWAYS uses diplomacy first. Why do you think we haven't bombed the SH!T out of Iran and North Korea? Because we're scared? No, it's because we will not go to war with them, or anyone else, until all avenues of diplomacy are exhausted. We did the same thing with Afghanistan and Iraq, believe it or not. If you would do some research, you would know this. The talks with Iraq went on for months, maybe even years.
The resolutions the UN passed against Iraq weren't just for the hell of it, you know.

There is no diplomacy, now known to the world. Although it is a unipolar world, the world is fragmented into many mini islands. This is not the time conductive for the niceties of diplomacy. Why blame Rice and the Americans?

Well Bush said it three times in his speech about Kim Jong Il's 4th of July fireworks demo, but clearly Bolton didn't understand when Syria approached him for dialogue amd he told them until they did what we told him to do, there was nothing to dialogue about....
Of course, Condi said, " We do actually have a mission in Syria. We have a charge there. And that can be a channel of communication at any time. So I just want to note that, you know, we do actually have both diplomatic relations and a channel for dealing with Syria."
So, maybe Bush should have said it a fourth time for Bolton? But then again, he did say these things "take time" and I am assuming he means for Bolton look the word tact up in the dictionary.

Absolutely. If they are so useless, then we would have been attacked by the terrorist pigs in other countries. The current administration have done an outstanding job of protecting us since 911. If you are an American you are an ungreatful bum. I don't have to worry that some ignorant doorknob is going to strap bombs to himself and kill me when I am out with my family. I say three cheers for the current administration. Jerk

Yes they undernstand it, but you are mistaken in purpose of their diplomacy.
You expect that the purpose is imidiate peace, geting food to the people, stoping the violence but the true purpose is destruction of hezballah or at least lessening its military potential with minimum colateral damage and then trying to get some peace accord that will last.

They are highly trained and educated people who have spent their lives in public service. You, on the other hand, are a bumpkin who is dazzled by the play. If you were truly insightful, instead of armchair quarter backing, you'd be in the game.
