Art Opportunity Diplomacy

More From Brent Scowcroft

The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating mind. opportunities! every life is full of them. every newspaper article is an opportunity. every client is an opportunity. every sermon is an opportunity. every business transaction is an opportunity, an opportunity to be polite, an opportunity to be manly, an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends.

It would be some time before i fully realized that the united states sees little need for diplomacy; power is enough. only the weak rely on diplomacy. the roman empire had no need for diplomacy. nor does the united states.

Opportunity shies away from need, but opportunity is attracted by talent and ability. what you don't want to happen is opportunity to turn cool on you. you don't want to offend opportunity. so the only thing you present to opportunity is ability, performance and skill. don't present need to opportunity.

It is neither art for art, nor art against art. i am for art, but for art that has nothing to do with art. art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with art.

Anyone who has ever studied the history of american diplomacy, especially military diplomacy, knows that you might start in a war with certain things on your mind as a purpose of what you are doing, but in the end, you found yourself fighting for entirely different things that you had never thought of before. in other words, war has a momentum of its own and it carries you away from all thoughtful intentions when you get into it. today, if we went into iraq, like the president would like us to do, you know where you begin. you never know where you are going to end.

Never [enter] into dispute or argument with another. i never yet saw an instance of one of two disputants convincing the other by argument. i have seen many on their getting warm, becoming rude and shooting one another.

If you mean by "military victory" an iraqi government that can be established and whose writ runs across the whole country, that gets the civil war under control and sectarian violence under control in a time period that the political processes of the democracies will support, i don't believe that is possible.

Politics is not like an ocean voyage or a military campaign... something which leaves off as soon as reached. it is not a public chore to be gotten over with. it is a way of life.
