“Why?”
“What if the Christian Churches don’t agree?”
“What’s the problem?”
“If they don’t get their way I’m concerned that some of their firebrands may take it as sufficient reason to unleash the full fury.”
The full fury!
“Oh my God…” the President said spontaneously, sickened by the thought. “Don’t say that!”
“Well… it is a possibility.”
“Not really,” the President said firmly. “We just don’t go anywhere near that track! We stick to the middle path – we encourage understanding, agreement. I think you’ll find most people who are interested in God tolerant enough. They won’t want to fight over petty differences in the way they practice their faith. Surely we can let the religions sort this out. Frankly Mohinder, handled properly, I don’t see a cause for any fury at all!”
“Ahh… the glass half full again,” the P.M. laughed. “Of course you’re right to maintain the positive spin. I worry too much, that’s all.”
“We all do.”
The President sat in silence for a moment.
Have you made a huge mistake here?
By condoning the release of those films… have you inadvertently helped dig a grave for the world?
Don’t worry…
You will go down in history
As the greatest politician the world has ever known.
You will bring universal tolerance.
