buckets of blood
Reader comment on item: Pouring Cold Water on WikiLeaks
in response to reader comment: Smoke and Mirrors
Submitted by batya dagan (United States), Dec 21, 2010 at 00:31
A good diplomat can save buckets of blood if this is what his government wants.Sadly , in the case of the Arab Israeli rift what we got from the Arab side was one diplomacy in English and another in Arabic.A diplomacy like that does not save blood but brings it on.
