| “ | HOST: All right. But you don't -- you think NATO is screwing up the Libya thing? You don't think they're putting enough power behind their punch? I don't really understand your beef with them. COMEDIAN: You can't half-step wars. It's a simple point. You know, you cannot half-step a war. The United States -- Grace Slick once said, 'Either go away or go all the way.' We're going to go in and whop this guy, go in and whop him. If not, let's get out of there. But we don't turn it over to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. I mean, for [gosh] sakes. NATO makes the U.N. look like the 300 Spartans! |

It is true that some things really can be settled in peaceful forum, sitting down and talking your enemy.
This being said, nukes can't be handed over by saying "pretty please", especially if you're an evil little Asian man that rules a sorry little brainwashed country that everyone loves to hate.
This problem seems to crop up in Antarctica as much as it does in reality. Although many regimes are FAR more war-mongering.
Diplomacy is better worded as butt-kissing or boot-licking. If one side butt-kisses to the point of giving the enemy all they want when they should have used force, see appeasement. For the worst of their peace-at-any-cost actions, apologist.
See also that pansy United Nations. (Come on, we all know Iran won't just give you their nukes!)
Where was I? Oh yes, this category logs the attempts- successful or not -between international bodies and groups at butt-kissing diplomacy.
Have fun.
