You decide to focus on persuading Myca’s president to reschedule elections for three reasons:
- It will be very difficult to provide adequate humanitarian aid in an unstable environment in which people are protesting.
- If the graphite miners go on strike in solidarity with the student protesters, that will hurt U.S. graphite imports and the Mycan economy.
- Promoting democracy around the world advances U.S. interests.
— Mycan presidentMy government is focused on the immediate crisis. There will be time to discuss elections at a later, more appropriate date.
— Mycan opposition leaderOur country hasn’t had national elections in 20 years! We’re tired of waiting for a ‘later’ that never comes.
— Mycan comedianThese protests are bad for business. Then again, so was the hurricane. What’s next—a plague of locusts?
