5 December 2012 - Mideast peace process

Diplomacy is better than war because diplomats are polite and generous. We see that in the two varieties of diplomatic language, the polite substitution of vague for specific and the generous substitution of pretty for ugly. So for example “Mideast peace process” comes apart into “Mideast” which means related to Israel, “peace” which means war, and “process” which means state of affairs.
