When Benazir Bhutto was
Prime Minister of Pakistan she was dining with then Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher and recalled earlier days. She
said, “We were having dinner and I said, “Lady Thatcher, I’m so confused. The president wants to make a deal with me,
but he wants to just use me against the prime minister. The prime minister wants to make a deal with
me, but he just wants to use me against the president. With whom do I go?” And she said:
“Neither. When my opponents do that, I
just let them go at each other.” I
thought this was very good advice, and I remained discreet. And they destroyed each other.” – New York Times Magazine.
Sometimes the best path is to sit back and watch how events unfold. Perhaps the hand of God is visible there.
