Make diplomacy, not war
2008 August 11
New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof makes a compelling case for the increased use of diplomacy, rather than military force, in US foreign relations. His reasoning is primarily pragmatic – “after all, you can’t bomb global warming.” However, Kristof’s argument reveals a simple truth; force is an impermanent solution to violence. Only with tactful diplomacy, education, cultural exchange, and understanding can conflicts be resolved and then avoided in the long run.
