I interviewed a Holocaust survivor in November. At the end of the interview, he looked down and said that he didn't understand the world today. He said we all have enough space and enough food to get along with each other, but instead we are still killing each other. He mentioned Iraq, he expressed his utter disbelief and incomprehension of suicide bombings in the name of religion. He said that nothing has changed since he was he in the camps and lost his entire family. It was really depressing, and very true, I thought. It all needs to come to an end. But at the same time, I don't see a way for it to ever stop. Do you?

as long as there are assholes... this society pioneered democracy and the rule of law. perhaps we leave it to the next one to tackle the problem of peace.
