I think Iceland was supposed to crash and burn a year ago, it just stubbornly survives everything that is trown at it, it should be bankrupt by now and under control of the EU trough the IMF and UK/NL, it will be interesting to see how the reaction will be if the icesave deal is trown out of parliament, hope it will.

Maybe they can sign a new treaty in Hlemmur. Pity the Höfði House has been gutted by fire. Maybe they can sign a new treaty in Hlemmur.

A better and more meaningful visit to Iceland would be what the US/Russia and the rest of the "free world" might be able to do together to help Iceland through it's serious financial crisis. What could be more important to the Icelandic people. They should bill them greatly for holding any other meeting there.
