Dos and Don’ts of Diplomacy

Dennis Ross served as Middle East envoy for George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton. In Statecraft, he explains the power of diplomacy—and argues that the current Bush administration’s approach to foreign policy is an example of what not to do.

salvatore principato from manhattan

dennis ross is guilty by ommision
some points
what was Israel's roll in helping the rise of Hamas
(used as a foil to arafat's fatah)

Hamas if i'm not mistaken respected a cease fire for over a year until they were democratically elected
& one israel continued unabated settlements in the west bank
withheld tax money owed to the palestinians
& the international community tried to starve the people into rejecting hamas

so many points aren't being addressed
please throw mr ross a hardball....
