Zitat des Tages von Cynthia P. Schneider:
Richard Holbrooke is known for many things, but I will remember him as an impressive, sometimes even intimidating diplomat who understood the value of culture in diplomacy.
Humor, humility, and, of course, honesty, all are qualities that work in public and cultural diplomacy.
The most successful cultural diplomacy strategy integrates people-to-people or arts/culture/media-to-people interactions into the basic business of diplomacy. The programs in Afghanistan, Egypt, and Iran all contribute to core goals of U.S. policy in those countries.
A free and democratic Arab world aligns with America's security interests.
