okay, it's good that the debate exists, if only to expose the faulty GOP rationale. But I'd rather we face the fact that diplomacy has more than proven its merit historically, and have a full spectrum of politicians that understand that. So, it's still sad that diplomacy is under the microscope and an entire party is undermining its obvious usefulness.

There is a side of me that agrees with you, pwoxby, that NOTHING should be prohibited from debate, but trying to argue that diplomacy isn't worth trying? It's getting ridiculous.

The funny thing is that diplomacy essentially is debate. Seems like a redundancy, but that's how the administration administrates.
