Moveable bridges

“A new government has taken over in that country. Foreign policy needs to be realigned.”

“Bilateral trade will be affected adversely, our currency is devalued and unemployment is gnawing at the core of our economy. The opposition is waiting to pounce at our failure.”

“If we don’t do it, our international reputation is at risk. Bridges we build need to be moveable, which allow traffic in the desired direction. World leaders are remembered more than the myopic national ones.”

“Yeah… traffic jams give us the luxury of blaming the other – despite the fact that we are in the wrong lane.”
