Bob, eventho Dave has made prior trips to Mongolia, I'am guessing
that they were more fact finding to find out what the situation was.
I'am also guessing that all the parties involved now have a good idea
where each, including themselves, stand. So its like all parties have
agreed to meet, knowing that a settlement will be reached, and a lot
of posturing and complaining and hold-fast and don't be bullied at the
same time try to bully the other with predictions of collapse.
I'am guessing that all parties already know what kind of agreement is
acceptable and doable, but all know that if anyone showns any kind of
weakness, that it will be exploited. So all parties take a hard
position, not so much to get the upper hand, but to prevent others from
seeing any weakness of theirs, which most likely all have some areas
that they will compromise, but don't want to, and if the other side
discovers this, then they got the upper hand.
So I'am guessing that this has been happening since Dave arrived,
and maby in days or a week or so, the hardness will decrease in the
talks, and everyone will lower their positions at the same time,
and the final agreed upon deal making will be the best results for
a situation that is not good for anyone to continue "as is".
The above thoughts I got today at food market. While waiting in
the check out line I picked up Women's Day magazine and read the
articl "How a man and woman interact after getting married".
