George Bush is dead fucking wrong [about diplomacy].

[Modern diplomacy] is myopic, simplistic, based on violence and just going to lead to more war.

I don't think that anybody should be ruling in or ruling out anything while we are conducting diplomacy.

I want people to understand that the road to peace is as equally complex as the road to war.

I don't think that anybody should be ruling in or ruling out anything while we are conducting diplomacy.

The world of high-stakes international diplomacy can be rough and tumble, but it's more often than not a procession of suits and summits, protocol sessions and photo ops.
