I will speak to you about something a little less scary than what Julian Sanchez described. The state of u. S. Trade policy is closer to the libertarian model, libertarian ideals than any other public policy. That is not because the government is not encouraging in trade policy or particularly libertarian but government encroaches a lot more and these other spheres of public lives. Were long way from the libertarian ideals in trade policy and that would be free trade.

So hopefully theyll understand, peter, exactly what i said and the meaning of those words. Those words are very, very easy to understand. Any progress on the diplomatic back channel .
