Word for the Day: Wednesday, November 16, 2016

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality. An Impartial Diplomat? That would, of course, be the best kind, in the long run. However, we are human, with our own opinions, so "pure impartiality" is out of the question. So what *can* one do, who is preparing for a career, in the Diplomatic Corps? Go as far as is practical, of course, while being pragmatic (especially when determining which countries you might be interested in, to become a diplomat. For example, if you plan to mediate a civil war, make sure you come from a background, that is respected by both sides).
