...and that is the incentive to get Kyoto done, make every effort to
meet the targets, and then at the next stage of negotiations get more
countries involved, eventually getting ALL countries on side. The

You really don't understand how global politics works, do you?



Um, let me see. Negotiate international treaties. Go back on your
word. When someone doesn't like you, ask UN to sanction them. When UN
doesn't, (or doesn't do it fast enough), send in the Marines and overthrow
foreign governments. When questioned, say "He started it!!" and let UN
know you'll use your veto if they try to do anything to you. Look puzzled
when other countries say they are unhappy with your behaviour, and say "we
want to bring them democracy! ...whether they want it or not!" Act as if
voting in other countries isn't "democratic" because you don't like the
people that got elected.

...and above all else, NEVER let them see that you're scared.

Howzatt?

Thank-you. That's perfect and provides the data point I was looking for.
You have established the position from which you are arguing. With that
worldview there is no reason for further discussion. Thanks for playing,
please stop by the lobby for your lovely parting gifts.
