Dinner with three of the greatest leaders in history

Dinner With 3 Leaders

The silence would be unbearable when my dinner guests first sat down at the table. I thought long and hard about who to invite to this momentous occasion and settled on an unlikely trio of 20th century giants: President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, Jr., and, yes, Adolf Hitler. We would need some wine to loosen our lips because few of us would be ready to break the silence and the discomfort of breaking bread with a merciless madman as Hitler seemed to be. King would undoubtedly be the least comfortable next to Hitler, as the two men left nearly opposite marks on human history.

However, I have always wanted to pick Hitler's brain. His actions altered the course of history; there is no denying that. I invited him with President Roosevelt especially because the two men were both instrumental during the Second World War. Since that war, globalization has become a reality and the world has become linked through the free market. I would like to ask Roosevelt and Hitler especially about how they felt about globalization and the repercussions of World War Two on Europe. It would also be interesting to find out what Hitler and Roosevelt thought about the European Union.

I would hope that Martin Luther King, great orator and diplomat that he was, take on the enormous responsibility of challenging Hitler. King might be one of the only persons in history with the rhetoric powerful enough to chip away at Hitler's cold heart, to find out why Hitler believed what he did and just possibly persuade him to think differently. Even if King could not get through to Hitler, it would be a fascinating conversation. The only direct question I might ask to Hitler might be about his interest in the occult. I have heard rumors that his dabbling in the occult led to his distorted ideas about the Aryan race.
