Selectors and Pushbuttons

Always have thought that countries are machines too. At lead some of them are. If you know the proper selector and pushbuttons they will do the same as you want. e.g. The world controls the big guys here by these pushes and selections. But what is more important is to know the lamps they are sometime misleading. for example the gathering of pro regime protesters in front of UK embassy is a red lamp indicator but it shows green. Or the cooperation with the US in Iraq may seem a green indicator but it is a red light for sure. Sometimes I think that my job Automation is very like politics specially when the device is not working properly.
