But, I can see how people who went to "diplomacy school" and has been in many theoretical diplomacy discussions with others who went to "diplomacy school" but has never been face to face engaged in real world diplomacy see it differently.

Ambassador Ace? I don't think so. I suspect that I've had better experiences in my diplomacy than Bush.
I've had to be diplomatic a lot in my life and treating someone like garbage then ignoring them is a really great way to lose control of them. Losing a war to a poor and supposedly incapable people shows them Bush's weak. Losing the respect of and control of the voter base in the states shows Bush can't rule his own country. Sounding like you're half past retarded when you speak shows you're an okey and shouldn't be taken seriously.
Put all of that together and you've got a diplomatic nightmare.
