Fred,
You should apply for a position at the UN.
Don't overlook the fact that things don't just happen naturally. Ideas are seeds that are planted for a reason, the concensus that remains is often the everage between the most extreme positions being expressed, regardless of their actual relevance. The withdrawal doesn't change this much.
Ideas have consequences, or at least some ideas have consequences.
Now, the real question that hasn't been discussed until now is: why were such extreme claims made in March 2010?
Cheers,
Bernard
