And Then What?

Buffett, this morning you said a great thing, and I quote, “I find it reprehensible when a government preys on the weaknesses of its citizens rather than protecting them.” I wholeheartedly agree. You were talking about gambling. We urge you to think the same way about genocide. On the document in opposition to this resolution, you said this: “Proponents of the Chinese government’s divesting should ask the most important question in economics, ‘And then what?’” We are prepared to answer that question, “And then what? And then what?” Then the world will finally focus on the issue of genocide in Darfur. Then the international investors all over the world in many companies would follow the ethical actions of Berkshire Hathaway’s moral leadership, moral leadership, and call for all governments of the world to stop the genocide. “And then what?” Children would be saved, women would not be raped, fathers would not be killed, and we would find our way in this human family to care for one another. Jesus said, “We should love our neighbors as ourselves.”
