You know IFF, I understand that you are concerned about the optics. I am not as concerned in this case. To me, the more important a decision is, the less the optics are even considered. I won't go into my background, but suffice it to say that I disagree with the current political model of decision making, primary due to the need to be either politically correct or to have good "optics". Perhaps I too am just hamhanded, but I believe in making change work. This "change" with the Czechs didn't work. And the decision with the Mexicans was forced upon us by change in the States.

Good post though, I think we both are looking at a long term solution.
