单选题Although the situation at the negotiation table is always changeable, it is necessary to make out a detailed plan for the forthcoming negotiation. "Top line" and "bottom line" should be decided. For many negotiations in which more complex issues exist than the single factor of price it is more useful to identify a "best achievable" top line. The negotiators of course hope for the best, but the fact is that their "best" is hardly satisfied. The limitation of the top line is affected by many factors. The negotiators should be "considerate" of the other party. They should not be too aggressive even when they are in a favourable position. They can not be too optimistic. If one party demands too much, the negotiation often results in a failure. The bottom line, on the other hand, is the last "line of defence" which the negotiators will not give up. When setting the bottom line, over-optimism about probable outcome is often linked to a failure to give the bottom line adequate consideration. Identifying the bottom line is perhaps more important than setting the original target. Flexibility in setting the best achievable target is essential.

单选题 Five years ago, Congress and President Bush made
the most consequential and, as now seems more likely than not, unfortunate
decision of this country's still young century. On October 16, 2002, Bush signed
a resolution authorizing the US invasion of Iraq. Should war supporters
apologize? Democrats certainly think so. In the five years
since then, many of them have said "I told you so"—many more, in fact, than told
us so. In a recent paper, Gary C. Jacobson, a political scientist at the
University of California (San Diego), unearthed figure suggesting that some
Democrats have edited their memories. Before the US invasion of Iraq, 46 percent
of them favored the war, according to an average of a dozen surveys. In 2006,
only 21 percent of them said they had favored the war. Hmm. Do the
math. Those 25 percent of Democrats who were for the war until
they had always been against it were probably not dissembling. They were just
being human. "Memory is a self-justifying historian," says Carol Tavris, a
social psychologist and a co-author (with Elliot Aronson) of the recent book
Mistakes Were Made (but not by me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad
Decisions, and Hurtful Acts. "Our memories are a better indication of what we
believe and how we see ourselves today than of what actually
happened." I believe her, because I was not above a little
memory repair myself Recently, after a book review of mine appeared in The
Washington Post, an angry reader wrote, "It will come as no surprise that Rauch
was an advocate of invading Iraq." Who, me? I recalled myself as an agonized
fence-sitter, more anti-anti-war than pro-war (an important distinction, you
understand), maybe marginally in favor but more worried than
convinced. Just double-checking, I reread my columns from the
period and promptly found one, from February 2004, in which I described myself
as an, er, "advocate of the war." Gee. Imagine that. So let me
say for the record: I was wrong. Like most Americans, I have long since come to
believe that the Iraq war was a strategic mistake—with luck. (Without luck, it
will be a strategic calamity.) But let me also say what I was wrong
about. In that February 2004 article, I called the war a
"justified mistake." When a cop shoots a robber who has murdered in the past and
who brandishes what looks like a gun, we blame the robber, not the cop—even if
it turns out that the robber was brandishing a toy or a cellphone. The robber
was asking for it, and so was Saddam Hussein. That answer,
although still reasonable, no longer seems as convincing. Since 2004, it has
become clearer that the Bush administration's prewar hype portrayed the
intelligence on Saddam's alleged weapons of mass destruction as solider and
starker than it really was. Not enough people, including people in the media,
asked enough hard questions. I should have been more skeptical of the WMD hard
sell. That was mistake No. 1. Mistake No. 2 was forgetting the
difference between experts and poseurs. Over the past few years, it has become
clearer that the hazards of the US occupation of Iraq were not unforeseeable. In
fact, quite a few people foresaw them. And warned about them. And went unheeded.
Partly that was because the Bush administration wasn't interested, but partly it
was because a lot of us in the media gave a lot of ink and airtime to
pontificators who had never been to Iraq, who had never fought in a war or
served in an embassy or worked on a reconstruction team, and who did not know
Iraq's language, culture, people, leaders, history, or region. Other than that,
they were experts. In 2002 and 2003, of course, there was no
way of knowing which of countless forecasts and opinions would prove correct.
The experts were divided; sometimes fresh-eyed amateurs see what jaded experts
miss; the previous US Iraq policy was no big success. All true. Still, the fact
that so many of the war's sturdiest proponents were journalists and pundits—in
other words, hacks, like me—should have rung more alarm bells. That was mistake
No. 2. Those, however, were small mistakes compared with the
fundamental one. It was not really a mistake about the war at all. It was a
mistake about the president. Fool me twice, shame on me. In
1990, I was fooled once. In the prelude to the Persian Gulf War, I misjudged
President George H.W. Bush. In those days, America's most resounding recent
military triumphs had been against the Lilliputian forces of Panama and Grenada,
against which weighed the 1975 defeat in Vietnam, the 1980 fiasco of Desert One
(President Carter's failed hostage-rescue attempt in Iran), and the 1983
humiliation in Lebanon (where US forces turned tail after losing more than 200
marines to a Hezbollah truck bomb). Saddam Hussein's forces looked formidable
and well entrenched in 1990. The sandstorms looked forbidding. And President
George H.W. Bush looked hapless. I opposed the war. As I came
to the 2002-2003 Iraq debate, I was determined not to make the same mistake
twice. Another Bush was president, and the younger one looked as decisive as his
father had once seemed dotty. This, after all, was the George W. Bush who had
impressively rallied the nation and the world after September 11.
His foreign-policy team looked easily the equal of his father's, or
anybody's. Vice President Cheney was the wise man of Washington and the elder
Bush's successful Defense secretary. Secretary of State Colin Powell was the
magisterial architect of the Gulf War. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was the
man whose plan had worked like a charm in Afghanistan. If Condoleezza Rice, the
national security adviser, was not the equal of her 1990 predecessor, Brent
Scowcroft, she was no lightweight. Surely if any war Cabinet could inspire
confidence, this was it. Wrong again. Zero for two.
