Not So Diplomatic

An American diplomat (just retired) named Patrick Syring has been indicted for sending threats about Arabs to the Arab-American Institute. Indicted because his views were somewhat less than diplomatic.

According to prosecutors, Syring allegedly said, "The only good Lebanese is a dead Lebanese. The only good Arab is a dead Arab." He also said in an email, "You wicked evil Hezbollah-supporting Arabs should burn in the fires of hell for eternity and beyond" and "The United States would be safer without you."

Rather an undiplomatic turn of phrase for a professional diplomat, what?
