American diplomats reach the governmental levels outside the U.S. Yet they might be far less relevant in forming the opinion of the local populations.

It is far less expensive to connect and inform the rest of the world, than spending money through contractors and in many instances foreign assistance program which mostly diappear in the pockets of local politicians.</description>
