Powell is the main one deciding who the new diplomats are. They will be a reflection of Powell more than Bush. Time will tell. Not to worry, though. Negotiation is all diplmacy is. Diplomats tend to forget that. They are nothing but glorified hagglers. Military and intelligence: those are the forces that matter most, IMHO.

Er, military and intel matter most in a worldly sense, only under God.

Do diplomats have aspirations other than getting that treaty signed? They get fat heads and make friends with other fat heads. Lord! Who would put any faith in what they believe to be in the best interest of a super power. They need to believe it is they who can keep peace in the world. We believe as Reagan explained, there is peace through strength.
