Don't hate the player, hate the game

With Annan practically begging for those in charge to begin acting in a way that embodies peace Ahmadinejad quite rudely was not even present for George Bush's statements to the United Nations (which, I hesitate to admit, for once actually struck a positive chord with me) and the American UN seats were also notably empty as the president of Iran spoke later in the day.

I find it ridiculous that the two nationheads should act in this way, fighting like a bitter divorced couple - unable to be in the same room together even for the sake of the rest of the family. As far as I can see there is no solution on the horizon and everyone else seems quite tired of the bickering, the threatening, the backhanded statements written and delivered with intelligent malice and a smile that vaguely dissuades immediate reaction.

They don't agree? Fine. Don't like eachother? Fine. Don't want to work together? Fine.
Stop wasting time and just give someone else the job.
