A response to the Mali
Remi the Second, King of France
To: Mansa Sosso, Spymaster to Chief Koboku.
From: King Remi II of France
We are pleased by your rapid and polite response. We do apologies for lingual mistakes made by our person, we menat no offence to the great Vodun faith. We welcome your initiative of “Interfaith Dialogue”. We will at the earliest possible time send a Confucian master to the territory of the Mali. Once he or his the Mali Vodun counterpart arrive at our or your borders we shall sigh a “open borders” treaty and instruct the master to follow your orders on where to begin a Confucian school, his Mali counterpart would follow our instructions to ensure the success of his mission. Would the Mali agree to such arrangements?
We are grateful for Mali advice, but we must remind them that the same principals that make us coordinal neighbors, respectful negotiators and reasonable men, bar us from submitting to brute force. We stand on principle in our international affairs, even if America is a sleeping giant, a giant has no more right to do injustice than any other man. But let us also remind you that France is no midget especially compared to America.
We would also ask the Mali make their positon know, since without an active community of Kings relations may grow sour and their minds closed and limited, not interested in the wider world around them. We desire a world where reason and justice would prevail in affaris among great cultures.
