i still don't know what "legally binding" means, but this is a nice change in language from the messaging over the last little while. good. now, let's hope it gets done. and, let's hope the american people develop some sense in kicking the republicans out if they block it, too.

it may be the case that the rest of the world will have to move ahead without the united states, if that happens. but, i mean, what else are we going to do? we can't just keep waiting.

and, if it gets blocked by some other country, it's fair game to blame that other country for that, too.
