Armed only with an analytical mind and the ability to speak in metaphors, I attempt to explain the events of the day as I view them through the magic glasses my parents gave me over 50 years ago. Regards, Slim

Amnesty. Oh, yeah, and Anger Management

AMNESTY


If we do it to them, they will do it to us.
If we don't do it to them, they will do it to us.


If they do it to us, we shouldn't do it to them because they will do it to us.

If they do it to us and we don't to it to them, they will do it to us.

Where is the part that starts,

If they don't do it to us...?

PS. Nice article.

Amnesty:
Noun: An official pardon for people who have been convicted of political offenses. (Wikipedia)

I like your work, and what you are trying to do.

Should the Libyans grant amnesty to Gadhafi?
Should the Egyptians grant amnesty to Mubarak?
Ought the Iraqi's have granted amnesty to Hussein?

The problem is "The Process". As with the EuroCrats.
They are intelligent, educated, experienced, yet they cannot solve the EuroCrisis. Why not? E-Z. The Process.

This amnesty thing is analogous to a company that brings in anger management classes for all its employees but cannot solve the anger problem. Why not? They never deal with the person who makes everyone angry.

Regards.
