Wasting Time and Money

That's what diplomats are good at. They're spending a lot of money traveling from place to place to have meetings, when they COULD just stay where they are and have their meetings. But they rove all over the world, scheduling meeting after meeting in different places, at which they accomplish nothing, but after which they have their news conferences and claim all kinds of unspecified “progress” that leads to nothing good. The current effort, supposedly to curb Iran's efforts to gain an nuclear capability, is just like all the others. They talk and talk, then move on to another place, staying at plush hotels, drinking expensive wine and eating expensive food, screwing expensive prostitutes, billing it all to their taxpayers, who dutifully pay for it, THINKING they're doing something important, But they're not, and never will. And their taxpayers never “tumble” to the con. Or if they do, they can't do anything to stop it. I can't believe so many people are so stupid—but they are. And people will die because of their incompetence. (Yahoo News)
