Why Oslo or Recognizing You are an Anachronism

I got two comments on a recent post of why selected Oslo as the place where the historic Battle of the Bulge negotiations took place. Norway was the country that brokered the historic talks between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization in the early 1990's that led to the establishment of the Palestinian Authority. At the time it was considered a harbinger of a new era of peace in the Middle East. Obviously an incorrect assumption. The talks were notable not only for having brought two intractable foes together but also because they were done in absolute secrecy until the accord was reached.

Highly representative of our own Battle of the Bulge negotiations.

Okay, now I want to know what negotiationy-looking buildings look like. Is that an artistic term? ;)
