i think when you look into why diplomacy fails, the reasons tend to be fairly evident on a case-by-case basis. more often than not, "leaders" tend to be egotistical maniacs more interested in personal power than that of their country. the personalities of different leaders plays a huge role.
to use jimmy carter for example.. here was a guy who probably would've only resorted to war if it was brought upon us.. but, he reached a very important diplomatic peace agreement in the camp david accords. although the situation with israel is mired in turmoil, imagine what things would be like had that not have happened. |
