Ritz's Korean Threat

[wilagro]

What is with Gerry Ritz and his aggressive stance with South Korea and its beef import policy? I would think that diplomacy should be tried first before belligerence. The following link from the Edmonton Journal spells it out.

Well that is one fine topped cow in the photo. Having been interviewed more that once and more than likely so have you, I would suspect that the exchange would have been more subtle than that. I want to believe that there was diplomacy long before this meeting. How it really has gone down, time will tell. While I agree honey is better than vinegar, it seems the Ritz might have a backbone after all.
