...Democracy means the people rule. The ancient Greeks invented it, but they were very skeptical about it. Plato thought it far too unruly. Equality was dangerous, he said. If everyone is equal to everyone else, there is no order. To Plato, democracy was mob rule. If he were around and looking at Palm Beach County, he'd be saying, I told...
...issues. We must be willing to confront the difficult ones. Say that Ariel Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount is directly responsible for the recent outbreak of violence.

They deliberately tried to shape themselves as the underdog, when in fact they are deliberately launching these attacks in order to draw attention through the pictures, the shocking pictures. We were shocked not just by the pictures of our soldiers lynched by the mob but also by pictures of the young Palestinian who lost his life when he was caught in crossfire. But, as leaders, we should see through the screens and ask ourselves who is responsible for it, how it happened, who initiated it, for what purpose. What the hell kind of purpose could...
