(Bill Richardson with Sadaam Hussein)
Bill Richardson was a SUPER PATRIOT, but he did it HIS WAY.
He was the New Mexico governor and congressman, cabinet member and UN ambassador.
His greatest accomplishments were the successful release of Americans held prisoner by bad dictators around the world.
The title of this blog is the title of his book.
He would go on his own to negotiate the freedom of Americans held captive.
Here was his negotiating approach:
Respect the other side;
Try to connect personally;
Use a sense of humor;
Let the other side save face.
He died this past Friday at the age of 75.
Thank you Bill Richardson for your service to America!
