The only reason I'm not suicidal about the world situation is that I have some small faith that if more of us listen to people like Amis, Moyers, et al --- you know, people who can think & speak in full sentences and paragraphs --- the Western world might be able to understand a little better the non-Western world and only then is there hope for peace. As long as we keep thinking in sound bites and headlines we learn nothing and we act stupidly.
