I really don't know...

While that may be true after the election, it is not something that would be at a "crisis" level 2 days after the swearing in. I understand what you're saying in that this might be more of a general issue and not a game changer type thing, but if you listen to the rhetoric of Powell, Biden and Albright I think it is not a stretch to assume they are insinuating a true crisis of an urgent nature and not a mundane policy concern or world opinion issue. I like your positivity nonetheless! (and, by the way, none of us know so my view is no more valid than yours )
