As a matter of fact, it is worth asking whether dictators who generally rule without any constraint and particularly without the democratic scrutiny of their public, only understand and respect the language of diplomacy, the language that has always been used, as Javier Solana said, when it is backed up and given credibility by the means of coercion available to it, the last resort, as he also said?
Il faut encore se demander si les dictateurs, qui dirigent normalement sans aucune limite et, notamment, sans le scrutin démocratique de leurs opinions publiques, ne connaissent et ne respectent le langage diplomatique, le langage de toujours, - comme M. Javier Solana l’a dit - que lorsqu'il est renforcé et rendu crédible par les moyens de coercition disponibles, le dernier recours, comme il l’a dit ?
