Muy buen consejo sobre diplomacia de una experta:

“The purpose of foreign policy is to influence the policies and actions of other nations in a way that serves your interests and values. The tools available include everything from kind words to cruise missiles. Mixing them properly and with sufficient patience is the art of diplomacy. The challenge is often greatest when the goal is to push or pull a country across the line separating international scofflaws from respectable members of the world community. I faced such challenges repeatedly as Secretary of State, especially when dealing with a turbulent Iran, a stubborn Libya, and a repressed Cuba.”
