You're making a good start.<br /><br />I can't imagine being in Public Diplomacy under a Bush-Cheney administration. I know the diplomat must represent his or her nation without regard to the people in power, but to be a spokesperson for a nation engaging in preventive war, torture, the squelching of constitutional rights, etc., would, for me, be an impossibility.<br /><br />You're entering public diplomacy at a time when the United States has the possibility of becoming a great and good nation once again. All the best to you.<br /><br />P.S.
