The nation and the people pay the price for bad policy.That's one thing I keep getting from all this. These diplomats may be sincere and well meaning and it might even be argued they're experts in the field. So what!
Ultimately who has to give account for how things turn out? The President does to THE PEOPLE come at whatever time there's an election. Having experts on the field are great and wonderful but a part of why THE PEOPLE elect a President isn't always because he or she has expertise of knowledge BUT ALSO that they trust that leaders gut feel of making decisions YES that might even go against the status quo.
We ALL KNOW and none can deny it that if a major foreign policy was carried out which flopped, it's the President that pays the price....not whatever low level diplomat. Or do we really think we'd see the likes of CNN if something flopped point and condemn whatever ambassador and talk about poor ole Trump that it shouldn't be attributed to him? Do we think he wouldn't be held solely responsible? Seeing HE IS he gets to call the policy NOT THEM. If they want things their way they need to run for office.
There is not one person who holds all the knowledge, or has the gut "Feeling" for all policy. That is why it is so important to have experts in advisery positions, and that those making the final decisions are humble and sincere enough to listen to their advisers. A know-it-all in any supervisory position is unwise.
