...fully aware that American hubris and misjudgment - lots of both - have gotten us into the mess we're in. Yet at the same time, I must honestly say I'm proud of America's global achievements. Behind U.S. global expansion was an ideal of a world based on free enterprise, mutual prosperity and open societies. It was that ideal that brought my Holocaust-survivor grandparents through Ellis Island in 1949 in the hopes of rebuilding their lives and finding better opportunities for their 3-year-old daughter - my mother. These ideals have too often been trampled by greed or myopic...
...Heightened efforts in the area of resource efficiency are also an urgent priority. A shift from manufacturing-led export growth to more of a services-based consumption model will relieve some of the inherent biases of energy- and resource-intensive growth. But Asia must do more in the way of investing in alternative energy technologies, retrofitting existing production platforms and moving to lighter construction and production techniques. Air and water pollution have become endemic to Asia's hypergrowth. That's especially true in China, home to seven of the 10 most polluted cities in the world and whose level...
...certain southern states - just ask any civil rights activist. While Germany has its own racial and immigration problems with sporadic outbreaks of violence, they are nowhere near the magnitude of those in the U.S. The "wounds" seem to me to be healing much faster than you claim. The world must get off Germany's back once and for all. Xavier Chiampi, ASCHAFFENBURG, GERMANY...

Never-theless the integration of Turks is not primarily due to economic conditions as your article might suggest, but it is a common cultural task that Germans and Turks must face together. Some Turkish people are not eager to learn German, thus missing out on the most important tool for integration. I do not blame the Turks for their habits, I just want to emphasize that there is still a long way to go to achieve full integration, and that...
...Armenia "that could reopen their border" [Sept. 21]. I wish them well. As an Anglo-Armenian I look forward to a just settlement for the atrocities committed around 1915. Similarly I would welcome accession of both Armenia and Turkey to the E.U. - subject to certain conditions. One of which must be an end to "almost a century of animosity between the two countries." My only quibble is your comment that "Armenians say 1.5 million were killed in a genocide" and that "the massacre of hundreds of thousands of Armenians by the Ottoman Turkish army" took place. It's not just...
