Thanks to jeanne d'arc for pointing me to this NYT report which quotes a U.S. Diplomat's Letter of Resignation. When someone who has spent a career advocating for the USA at high political levels around the world, under both Democratic and Republican leadership, finds that the current Administration is deviating so dramatically from the traditions and values of US interests, maybe it can get the attention of some of the lock-step (or should that be goose-step) followers of Dubya. We can only hope.
