Manikchand forgot that she displayed the characteristics of a thug when she criticized the US ambassador in his house whilst enjoying his hospitality...
Ms Manikchand was RIGHT. Dat Ambassador crossed the line and he was shot down by Ms Manikchand.
Have you ever heard of a Minister of State in any part of the civilized world cussing down the Ambassador of a foreign state even one where there exists a state of war between the two Powers?
Do you know what this accomplished?
It made Guyanese Indian people look like sk**t chap.
It made you and I look like the scum of the world.
I assure you. It wasn't viewed by the Americans as a Guyanese diplomatic incident. It was viewed as an instance (one of many) of uncouth low class coolie behavior.
I can guarantee you that no Black Minister of State for Guyana (no matter how many personal failings he or she had) would have ever stooped so low as to insult the ambassador of a foreign government in such a low personal and reprehensible manner. And in his own home. And on the occasion of his nation's Independence Day. At a reception.
It is coolie behavior on a scale of which I am most unfamiliar.
Perhaps this is normal and acceptable in your logie but it ain't in mine.
You FAIL to understand the socalled Ambassador INSULTED the Govt and People of Guyana. Guyana aint no Bananna republic. It is an INDEPENDENT Country. Try to understand Diplomatic norms.
I have an excellent grasp of diplomatic norms chap. I've actually functioned in such a role before.
There are acceptable responses to any perceived insult or whatever by a foreign diplomat. None of which include a "feral blast" at an official reception.
Lemme go through the main ones:
1) Summon the Ambassador to Takuba Lodge and and have the FM cuss him down all you like and call it a "protest."
2) Or summon him to State House and have the President do the cussin down and similarly call it a "protest."
3) Send some letter or Note of via your ambassador in his capital to his Government's Foreign Minister (in this case the U.S. Secretary of State) delivered personally.
4) Mount a political platform or press conference and bytch and complain about that ambassador.
5) Request that his home Government issue him Letters of Recall.
6) Recall your country's ambassador to his country for "consultations" for some specified period of time.
7) Declare him persona non grata and give him a specified time (usually two or three days) to leave your country.
There are no precedents or "norms" which include a "cuss he rass dung man" option. That must be a chapter of the West on Trial covering Diplomacy.
