re: "Give Appeasement a Chance"

Lex at Neptunus Lex ("The unbearable lightness of Lex. Enjoy!") correctly evaluates a bone-head idea.

Money quote(s):

"“Many” private contractors may not be protected by diplomatic immunity, but it is the asserted position of the US government that Davis certainly is. Following Mr. Harrison’s recommendations all they way to their logical terminus would leave US diplomats world-wide vulnerable to the savagely swinging moods of local streets.

That may sound like a logical way to order the foreign policy apparatus to Mr. Harrison, but I very much doubt the pin-striped pant set at State will agree with him."
