I am a layman and have never understood the logic of conducting a meeting else where than the respective places where the problems persist – Sri Lankan/LTTE peace talks are done in Switzerland. India/Pakistan talk is carried out in London and is continued in Paris or some other great cities. Palestine/Israel peace talks too is undertaken in cozy places. And most of the meetings are conducted in posh, luxury hotels when innocent souls are massacred atrociously in the respective country- and the meetings go one. None of the meetings ever meets with the desired results, but all the participants are happy they had a nice time in a comfy atmosphere, shake hands and promise to meet again in the next venue, another posh luxurious place. The huge amount spent over there can very well be used for better purpose – to feed the famished poor souls, to cloth them and shelter them. But then that is the way of the world. How to change the system for the better – one does not know.
