Diplomats
I have mixed feelings. Our Foreign Minister may have been rather "undiplomatic" but there is much truthfulness and honesty of purpose in his statements. To my mind he has tried to call "a spade a spade". The learned author must realise that if not of this magnitude there are issues which are not only worthy of discussion but can be hotly debated on crossroads, the innumerable travesties of democratic practices in many of the developed countries of the world including that of the most powerful nation of the world.
Has it ever occurred to the him that these high profiled diplomats may have a different agenda of their own? I for one no longer have any faith in this grouping up of diplomats of Europe and the West. Will the professor help our Mission in the USA to organise a similar seminar in Washington to discuss the innumerable flaws in the democratic processes and other conflicting political issues of these countries? Frankly, the seminar could be held on any other day "except on a Tuesday." Trust begets trust. The problem today between the poor third world countries and the West is that the west has embarked on a two-pronged frontal attack, the silent and the violent to culturally morally and ethically invade our countries. " There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
These developed nations of the world are out as "aggressive vendors of Democracy and Freedom patented by them".
