7 Days: So many problems can disappear with a little fair & reasonable behavior

Let's imagine a little country A that had worked hard for big country B in a joint venture.  The little country was working a villa that was valued at say $14.85 mln and the little country's share was $3.95 mln.  Then a dispute arose for any number of reasons sending the little country off to pursue all sorts of current and future bi-lateral and multi-lateral legal & political avenues to correct how it felt it had been wronged -- all to the embarrassment and cost really of big country B.

All little country A ever wanted was what its fair share, for its hard work had always been $3.95 mln.

The funny thing about this dispute is that it could be solved simply by selling the venture that A & B began.  Little country A would make certain that big country B got its fair share of the proceeds of selling their venture (because honesty, transparency and trust are very important to little country A).

And then little country A would go off with its hard worked for stake of $3.95 mln and all of the bi-lateral and multi-lateral efforts would be withdrawn -- quietly, responsibly and leave big country B looking like the big dog on the block not to be messed with.

Everyone would live happily ever after.
