We can forge the path except that the path doesnt need forging. We know where it is and we know where it goes but why the hell should we be the ones walking down it alone assuming all of the risk?
Now, romantically speaking I'd agree to being the guy that walks the lonely path and all that other BS, but not on this one, on this one someone else has to walk this path first because I'm tired of being the punching bag for moral victories.
Yeah, its like being the Oilers, sure it was a moral victory but we still lose. This time let someone else take it in the teeth.

Well except there are other countries already forging a path on this one. It may not be the big guns, but it doesn't mean we'd be walking it alone. And regardless, this isn't one of those things where if we sit on the sidelines out of principle we won't get our teeth kicked in at the end. If nobody does anything, then everyone loses, so sitting on the sideline out of principle is cutting off your nose to spite your face.
