So on the way to work I am thinking about the various negotiations between countries and the "Peace Process.
Time consuming, dry, special arrangements for seating and adversarial. I assume the negotiators go in there with big chips on their shoulders as they maneuver for advantage and filled with bombast for the public.
I am thinking that there should be a special place set aside for all peace negotiations or resolution disputes. Say an exclusive Carribean Island with 5 star amenities.
Before you begin to discuss you are offered a selection of highly trained courtesans to choose from or if female negotiators you are of course given the male counterpart. You attend lavish buffets, have silk sheets, Ocean breezes in your room and what ever you desire.
All possibilities are exhausted for removing tension and hostility before discussions. Heaping bowls of Viagra and Xanax are placed strategically throughout the setting. Doctors on on staff to clear any physical activities.
After any activities you are given a massage, a bottle of water, a cigarette and maybe some fruit.
Then you sit down in a better frame of mind to begin your work.
I think that this facility or facilities should be owned and managed by the U.N. The countries involved pay a fee for use during the time spent there.
I just feel that this environmental enhancement would make the parties more ameniable to the discussions and a solution. If parliamentary approval is needed for the agreements then they are flown there to vote on the agreement.
This has to be faster and in the end cheaper than what we do now?
