    Given what is happening to the country's economic situation, its currency and its credit rating one might expect the governor to have other pressing priorities.

    If the Argentines hadn't embarked on their foolish “invasion” and instead behaved like a mature , civilised nation they would probably be well on the way to reaching an accord by now. Sadly they still show little sign of reaching maturity.
