I sense the initial smell of sanity in the air.


We are bouncing along, not only day to day here, but really hour by hour, watching the bushes and trees as we pass them, and we can't see the Forest.

I think when we finally get to the end of this process, we will look back and see the whole thing was sane, and it had to be "good cop, bad cop" with FP to get the results we needed. We could never have moved Europe without jumping on them. Normal Diplomatic "Nice, Nice," so beloved by Tek and the rest of the establishment, would not have worked.

Maybe the testosterone is out of everyone's system and now the hard diplomatic work is underway.

Good observation.

Here's to hoping you are right.

I object to the idea that the French/German behaviour is caused by the Bush style

My point all along. The French don't have a decent exit strategy once the shooting starts.
