Here’s the scenario, the world is entering a Global Recession and facing off against the potential of a Global Depression.  So what do they do?

They set the wrong agenda.  See if you can spot the flaw in their leadership logic…

World leaders convened Saturday for a second straight day hoping to tackle a financial crisis that has ricocheted across the globe and left the United States and other countries on the brink of deep recessions.

Their goal: to prevent a similar calamity from happening again.

The historic two-day summit meeting, which brought together prime ministers and presidents from Group of 20 countries, was in full swing Saturday following an extravagant working dinner at the White House.

"We had a good frank discussion last night," President Bush said. "There’s some progress being made, but there’s still a lot more work to be done."

OK, so what in the world are they doing making plans to avoid a similar problem?

This is supposedly a once per century problem.  A problem that we have not yet survived and they are looking into plans to figure out how to avoid it next century?

Hello!  Leaders of the world, I’ve got a news flash for you.  How about you confront the problem we have today.  The problem that your poor leadership could not avoid.  How about you chart us a path out of this problem instead of pretending we don’t have a problem now.

I realize many of you already have the shipping boxes open on your office desks and you are hoping to high tail it to the nearest possible remote location away from the future turmoil, but you are still in a position of power.  Is it too much to ask for some last minute game play here?
