Rather hopefully, I looked at this morning's
Washington Post and saw
this article, which is headlined "Accord Reached On Global Trade," in reference to the Doha Round of the WTO talks.
I was hopeful, until I read down to the middle of the second paragraph, and found that "...representatives of the WTO's 147 member nations agreed on a framework setting the parameters for completing the Doha Round of negotiations."
It's too bad that they couldn't quite agree on a framework for setting the parameters of agreeing on a framework for setting the parameters of the Doha Round of negotiations. Then they might have been making some real progress, after all.
