Subject Oprah? What kind of strategy is that?

OH WOW!
Things are getting too political these days. I really believe there is a
strategy in place to which we are not privy. As Christians, we must put
our confidence in our Savior, Jesus Christ and be led by His spirit.
I question why Oprah would be sent to a country where women are not
respected. What kind of strategy is that?
Due to globalization, savvy business leaders are obtaining multi-cultural
advisers to train managers and staff who have to travel internationally.
Based on information that was told to me by some of my class associates who
work for international companies, females who were on American soil have
had problems interacting with Middle Eastern men. The men have refused to
look at the females let alone speak to the women. During a class
discussion, we analyzed international business practices and tried to
determine if it is wise to impose our American practices on other cultures
or, if when doing business with other cultures, we should adhere to the
culture of another country. Interestingly enough, it was determined that
it depends on the purpose. If we (American business people) are not
interested in being successful in our venture, we surmised, or if we want
to make a statement of power, we will send a female representative to the
negotiation table.
Clearly, President Bush's interest in sending Oprah was not to negotiate
with Middle Eastern men. Perhaps it was to make a statement of power that
the U.S. is in control of this...
God's blessings,
