Many foreign diplomacy experts and retired government officials are
beginning to see the results of what they predicted years ago after the
end of the cold war. With the fall of the Soviet Union America has run
roughshod over the middle east and the art of diplomacy has been thrown
out the window. In favor of big guns, sophisticated technology, and shoot
first ask questions later. The Barack Obama administration has the
unenviable task of sifting through the rubble.
U.S. diplomacy hit its all time low under the Bush administration. 9/11
was the perfect excuse for Dick Cheney, the Bush administration, and Great
Britain to seize Iraqi oil fields under the pretense of Saddam being
connected to 9/11. The truth was that Saddam and Bin Laden despised each
other and all intelligence showed that Saddam was not connected. Still
Bush continued to beat the war drum by mentioning 9/11 and Saddam in the
same sentence for months and in the end 45% of the public started to
believe it .That's called roughshod diplomacy.
The proclivity to use force during the Bush administration without exit
strategies or well thought out diplomacy have left the U.S. with several
mini Vietnams through out the middle east. The Obama administration's
refusal to place sanctions on Israel over further development in Gaza or
bring them to task on human right's violations has made things worse for
the United States when foreign diplomacy is discussed with arab countries.
Everyone would agree that Obama is going through a learning curve on
foreign diplomacy. The main players in Washington are aware of that fact
so they are using hit and run political tactics to force his hand on key
decisions and keep him off balance. The Obama administration is quite
aware of this as is evident by Obama's long and deliberate planning on the
Afghanistan surge. The good thing is that he's surrounded himself with an
excellent staff and he's a quick learner, if Republican's ever give him
enough breathing room to step back and see the whole picture he has the
potential to clean up the whole mess in the middle east.
