Big Problem

In order to better understand the enormity of what we are faced with in the Middle East and around the world, everyone should read this excellent article which appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle this morning.

This morning's Chronicle Two Cents column asks the question: Who has the most to lose in the Mideast? All the answers are good but this is my favorite:

"Humanity. As a species, if we can't even learn to accept the existence of our neighbors, we will never be able to confront global challenges like environment issues or disease that can destroy us all. Tribalism has no place in the global community."
