The Impending Failure of Western Diplomacy in the Middle East
1. The Impending Failure of Western Diplomacy in the Middle East
In a previous monograph, I discussed the fallacy of US Diplomacy in Libya.
Now I would like to expand the subject matter to include Western Nations and
The Middle East.

Re: Middle East Turmoil
Subject: Don’t get happy.
There are, no doubt, many who are secretively happy to see the turmoil in the
Middle East. Diplomatically, they may express their concerns, regrets, desire to
help, compassion, support, and so on. Still, inside, they are embracing the
wrong impressions. They secretively believe that this turmoil will bring about not
merely change in the Middle East, not merely a positive change in the Middle
East, but a change that will result in truly favourable diplomatic and economic
relations.
The problem arises from the fact that the Diplomacy of late falls into the following
categories:
1. Diplomatic relations with those with similar, agendas and common goals.
Pro-forma Diplomatic Relations.
2. Diplomatic relations with those with dissimilar agendas and common goals.
Goal Oriented Diplomatic Relations.
3. Diplomatic relations with those with dissimilar agendas and common goals.
Expedient Diplomatic Relations.
4. Diplomatic relations with those with dissimilar agendas and dissimilar goals.
Tenuous Diplomatic Relations
5. Anticipated diplomatic relations with those with dissimilar agendas and with
divergent goals.
Now we have the need to find and engage in a mutually beneficial
Diplomatic Agenda to accommodate those divergent goals.
