How to make peace.

When I was about eight years old I wanted to become the president of Finland. So far I have just been the president of the society for Sociology students, but that's not too bad either, right?

Martti Ahtisaari was a guest at Trinity College today. He didn't remember what pakettiauto (van) is in English and felt sorry for the Finnish students that have been forced to see his picture in classrooms everyday during their time in elementary school. Martti is apparently a human being. He has come this far because he doesn't think that he's the best, but that the people he is working with are best. He also emphasized the importance of including all relevant stakeholders in a process. And that's how he brings more peace to the world. I shook his hand and said thank you.
