[QUOTE=Guest;1087437]I am a bit insulted by this post frankly.

What you are saying is that, just get out of the way.....the politicians have got it right and we should not comment as just plain old american citizens. I do not agree with that premise.

OR maybe you mean that only applies with this President or some party in power.

That is a dismissive statement that has not merit.......everyday americans who discuss politics or economics are allowed to have opinions, despite your smart aleck remarks.QUOTE]

If I were you, I would think of those at the Vienna conferences as seasoned negotiators and not as politicans. Most have spent their careers doing similar work in some capacity.

Allow the negotiators the credit for their vast experience. People outside of your area of expertise during your work career were not criticizing every aspect of your job, were they? You knew what worked best and did an admirable job. These negotiators know what is best in the long run for our country.
