I recently listened to a podcast in which two senior political advisers talked about how they were surprised by the importance of fertilizers and the fact that a lot of fertilizers come from those countries. They had no idea before hands, and nobody around them talked about it.

We see incompetent people around us every day, but sometimes we forget that there are incompetent politicians as well. The big difference, and what bothers me the most, is that they never admit their mistakes because of all the political party BS that is often the main priority and goal.
