An Open Letter to Forty-Seven Members of the United States Senate:
I have noticed from the way you have been acting lately that you may not
fully understand what diplomacy is. I am writing to tell you all about it.
Diplomacy is very important. While you are in the United States Senate, you should
seriously consider trying it.
A dictionary is a book that explains what words mean. There is a good one on the Internet at www.learnersdictionary.com. It says
“diplomacy” is a word that means:
1. the work of maintaining good relations between the governments of
different countries
2. skill in dealing with others without causing bad feelings
2. skill in dealing with others without causing bad feelings
When you write a letter to the leaders of another country and you give them
a basic lesson on the constitution as if they were children and you were a
civics teacher, it is not good diplomacy. Let me explain why.
