Like if I want to forge an accord with you, the first thing I should at least do is try to figure out who I'm dealing with. And I'm not going to manage that at all until I listen a lot. And that's got to be way before I decide how we're going to proceed because I don't understand at all how I could even possibly proceed with you unless I knew

So there's several, you know, I say there are seven to embrace and seven answers. aspects to avoid. One of the things to avoid is not to shame or dishonor someone. Do not. Yeah, that's a good idea. Do not push an agenda. Do not keep a record of wrongs that, oh, Mr. President, you armed the Janjaweed in western Sudan and Darfur, and you are massacring the African Muslims.

There's a difference culturally in one part of western Sudan called Darfur. And there are two and a half million people displaced. Nearly a million people have been killed. Tens of thousands of women brutally raped. That would be an elephant in the room, wouldn't you say? And every single western person that came to see him What do you think the first thing they did, shame, disgrace?
