Why is using diplomacy considered a cowardly action?
Diplomacy is and will always be a better alternative to war. Because at least during diplomacy people are speaking when that breaks down, then war has to be followed. But diplomacy is a better alternative, as all countries hate what wars to their countries, some of their leaders might not feel the same, but overall people hate what war does to a country? Whether towns being bombed, or civilians being called collateral damage, war is never pretty, nor in most cases is it necessary. It’s the 21st Century, the whole world has changed. The wars or petty squables between ations should be kept to the tables of conferences, not to battles.
Diplomacy isn’t cowardly, it’s the best way to prevent loss of life. True it doesn’t always work, but it isn’t cowardly.
I’m with NOYFB. Maybe I’m a cowardly pacifist but so what, I’m proud to not want to kill people just because they think different from me (although don’t get me talking about pedophiles) All wars are unnecessary and all Iraq and Afghanistan has done is fuel uprisings in terrorism activities anyway. Humans are selfish, greedy, violent. Wars make leaders feel powerful, they make profit and most people enjoy solving things with their fists, hence the world has difficulty with communication and understanding of each others cultures.

Diplomacy requires thought. Many of those who love war are incapable of this. Therefore war is their only option.
Plus of course war makes some people a lot of money – diplomacy merely saves money (and lives).

It is only considered cowardly by those who don’t possess the mental acuity to solve their problems by means other than their fists.

It IS cowardly when history has proven time and time again, that it simply emboldens certain cultures / philosophies / countries, and you continue to pursue a futile course, which ultimately puts the US in danger…
Ahmadinejad has made a laughing stock out of Obama, and by default, the US, as an example…

Diplomacy requires intelligence and humility. Two things that American leaders never seem to have.

Diplomacy only works if two parties negotiate in good faith.

Only losers consider diplomacy to be cowardly.
By the third grade most people have figured out that being big, and bold, and brave, and tough only means you are at the bottom of the stack.
A few people never figure it out.
Use of force needs to be a last resort.

Who ever said that is a total moron. Full stop. In the famous words of Winston Churchill, "jaw jaw is better than war war.
