There is a popular adage: A politician says ‘yes’ when he really means ‘no’, while a diplomat says ‘yes’ when he always means ‘no’.

This may sound slightly cynical, but are they not what they are? Because one (diplomat) is paid to do his job while the other (politician) is paying to become what he is. Is he not investing crores to become one?
