Diplomacy

Osama Bin Laden had just been killed and I was sitting in a taxi with Ben. A few of the Ugandans in the seat behind us were clearly Muslim by their dress, which inspired Ben to loudly ask me the question “Do you think it was a good thing to kill Bin Laden?” After some awkward silence (and quick thinking) I said simply “I support Obama, and if killing Osama helps Obama then I am all for it. Ben and several Ugandans nearby smiled with appreciation, for no one is more popular in Uganda then Obama.
