But this is the end result.

Score was 1 1 after 90 minutes and 2 2 after extra time.

This is the result that has been replicated over and over again.

China might not be happy with the result.

Perhaps that outcome was foreordained.

Indeed, that outcome appears likely.

The numbers seem to bear that out.

China finds this outcome regrettable.

At first glance, this was a rational and predictable outcome.

Few doubt that they will be.

But this is not the only consequence of financial Dutch Disease.

What went wrong?

This result should come as no surprise.

Such an outcome would make a mockery of democracy.

As a result, communication on these issues has improved.

I think that is the first conclusion that emerges from this debate.

Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, who became Iran s president after Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini s death in 1989, sought such an outcome.

The result is the stable region that the world sees today.

But such an outcome remains in doubt.

There is no need for an election to determine that.

Such an outcome would be a major breakthrough for Cyprus and the region.

But that ambitious outcome is easier described than achieved.

China has no interest in such an outcome.

There are two hopes for avoiding this disastrous outcome.

It will be a global call to action.

Market logic, it is argued, dictates this result.

Avoiding that outcome presupposes a strong political center.

Three factors have brought this about.

As it turned out, after 40 years of containment, the Soviet Union and its empire unraveled, though this outcome was a byproduct of US policy, not its principal purpose.

That result is also the product of over two years of intensive negotiations and unremitting efforts.

Even some in the Vatican feared this outcome.

The EU does not want to be held responsible for this.

In fact, such an outcome is not only likely, but also desirable.

Realistically, however, the potential for achieving such an outcome is limited.

It would be a big mistake to let that happen.

Negating this outcome through a moratorium is clearly no unmitigated good.

Applauding the military coup against Morsi makes this the more likely outcome.

The researchers were able to replicate this particular result in four other populations.

The experience of the newly industrializing countries in Asia provides an example of this outcome.

In terms of broader effectiveness and quality issues, this finding was very important.

Indeed, the result represents a stunning and historic defeat during the Fifth Republic, three sitting presidents Charles de Gaulle, Mitterrand, and Jacques Chirac have been reelected after their first term in office.

If that was supposed to be a better outcome than an earlier termination of the pregnancy, it is hard to see for whom it was better.

But it will take strong leadership by the president elect to avoid it.

In a rational, predictable world, such an outcome might produce stability.

Is that outcome morally superior to a bailout?
