摘要：Near the end of my first tour
as AFSA president in the spring
of 2003, Deputy Secretary of
State Richard Armitage told me:
¡°I can¡¯t believe that you people
put up with such inadequate
resources during the 1990s.¡± I
was speechless. Didn¡¯t he realize
that we had put up with inadequate
resources because we believed that we
had no choice? Political officials in the
White House and Congress had consciously
decided to reduce funding for
diplomacy, so who were we as career
officers to speak up about the inevitable
adverse consequences?
