Most media pundits have either criticized or satirized the notion of &#8220;beer diplomacy.&#8221; Indeed, some of these criticisms are warranted. The &#8220;beer summit,&#8221; as it is being called, will probably be little more than [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=herculescelticus.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8494382&amp;post=378&amp;subd=herculescelticus&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
