#5  Shieldwolf, I would never kiss anyones ass or expect our ambassadors to. Nor was I sugesting an covert operation to overthrow this goon be curtailed. We have a diplomatic process, it is one of our elements of power, remember the DIME, and it does work well.

#4  Talking, what have we obtained from it in the past?
Very little. It wasn't talking that won WWI, WWII or the Cold War. We're not really that good at talking. But we're good at other, more direct measures.

#2  Garbage - these tinhorn South American dictators are stamping their feet and holding their breath. No reason to pay special attention to them, unless you are suggesting that we lick their boots.

#1  War is the option when the political side fails. The State dept needs to get going on this before we find all our ambasadors in South America on a plane. Liking the new leader or not, we need to keep talking.
