VDH: Lessons Learned
1. Political promises must be kept.2. Any warnings to use force - much less unfortunate unguarded braggadocio - should be credible and followed through. 3. Diplomatic solutions follow, not precede, military reality. 4. The worst attitude toward the Europeans and the U.N. is publicly to deprecate their impotent machinations while enlisting their aid in extremis. 5. Do not look for logic and consistency in the Middle East where they are not to be found. Posted by: Mrs. Davis 2005-04-22 |
