It's been a long time since I have had a quote of the week but here it is!
The following quote is from Anne Applebaum WaPo article, for which there is a link in this blog post's title. It's a great one.
"But being right, even morally right, isn't everything. It is also important to be competent, to be consistent, and to be knowledgeable. It's important for your soldiers and diplomats to speak the language of the people you want to influence. It's important to understand the ethnic and tribal divisions of the place you hope to assist."
