All war represents a failure of diplomacy.

This president failed so miserably in diplomacy that we are now forced to war.

Diplomacy in general does not resolve conflicts. Wars end not due to peace processes, but due to one side giving up.

War remains the decisive human failure.

War is the greatest failure of mankind.

War is what happens when language fails.

Diplomacy: the art of restraining power.

To me, all war is failure for humanity, though it often is a bounty for commerce.

Diplomacy is not an end in itself if it does not advance U.S. interests.

War is not, in itself, a condition so much as the symptom of a condition - that of international anarchy.
