Zark Sinks to New Low - Arab News |
2005-07-06 |

It is a basic tenet of a civilized world that diplomats are become targets of aggression, however at odds a host country may be with the state the diplomats represent. Even when diplomacy fails and countries declare war, governments are expected to give safe passage to their enemies’ diplomatic staff for them to return home. Rest at link |
