Letting Peace Happen

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.
