Are you honestly trying to say that diplomacy is universally and always
unsuccessful in all cases everywhere on the planet?  That nothing has ever
been accomplished by diplomacy?  You may wish to modify your statement or at
least limit its sweeping nature.

Okay, I was thinking in terms of *major* global conflicts, such as war.  More
specifically, I'm looking for examples of diplomacy effectively dealing with an
aggressor (nation or entity).

Cuban Missle Crisis.  Defused through diplomacy.  Both sides got something
they wanted.  Perceptually Kruschev lost, and was deposed eventually because
of it.

Also, the Morrocan "affairs", in 1904 and 1907, between Germany and France.
Things were *hot* back then (for the time standards, that is).
