What if?

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

In this campaign to persuade the NK chairman to change . . only the essential, first step has been taken. He says they will move toward ending their nuclear weapon work. What if he does stop his nuclear threats and moves toward ethical leadership? That's the goal.

That video prepared to help persuade him to negotiate was professionally done. Scott Adams, creator of comic strip "Dilbert" and author of a book about persuasion, thinks the video is brilliant.

From the video:

"History is always evolving, and there comes a time when only a few are called upon to make a difference . . .But the question is — what difference will the few make? The past doesn’t have to be the future. Out of the darkness can come the light, and the light of hope can burn bright. What if?"

Adams says, "It might be the best thing anybody ever did in a negotiation. Period."

African Fred Swaniker had it right - a single leader has huge impact. Millions of lives hang in the balance. "What if?"
