Brady Kiesling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Brady Kiesling is a former US diplomat and author of "Diplomacy Lessons: Realism for an Unloved Superpower". He currently appears through the courtesy of "Athens News" in Greece. [1] Kiesling was a supporter of the first President George Bush and the 1991 Gulf War. [2]
| “ | Mr. Kiesling's personal crisis began in October, at a diplomatic party in Athens. He ran into an old friend and source from a stint in Athens 15 years earlier, a Communist who had spent years in Greek prisons. The pair had always sparred politically, but a warm friendship endured.
He holed up and read, but the cloud of despair wouldn't lift. Finally, in late February, when Mr. Bush made clear he wouldn't be defied, even by the U.N. Security Council, Mr. Kiesling drafted his resignation letter and quit. Suddenly, he felt "a certain lucidity, a strong, liberating feeling," he says.[3] |
