Kiesling I know of, he is a well known, well to do mal-content. He is a recipient of the Rivkin award, given for decent against the policies of the state department. I applaud him for making a demonstration of his feelings on the subject. But I also condemn him for using the moment to add sensationalism to his resignation. I would suggest that his job was not to decide policy, but to work towards the goals of achieving the policies already in place. Perhaps he should run for a seat in the house, where his voice, if added to a majority of others, would help set policy. I respect people for going to bat for what they think is right, but I have no respect for those who resign when other fail to abide by their point of view.
