Great article. It claims that trend toward universal hospitality and open exchange would continue, but there is nothing to support this notion in the article.

I've recently read "The Better angels of our nature" and Pinker doesn't find any base for this prediction either.

What politicans do actually like?

I think Mary Robinson is a pretty cool guy. Eh raises issues of human rights and doesnt afraid of anything.

HRW: Worst year for human rights in Russia since the USSR collapsed

There's thrills and chills and girls galore, sing-songs and surprises

There's something hear for everyone, (reserve your seat today)

Brzezinski: Europe needs forward-looking leaders

I like his realistic evaluation of Russia and India.

I'm not sure how people overestimate them and China so much. I read poll that according Spanish, French or British idiots China is most powerful economy already and disillusioned Indians believe even that India is the largest economy. Don't even start with diplomatic and cultural value.

Do people ascribe too much importance to economic growth? Indonesia in a few years will be larger economy than France, but this doesn't make Indonesia "world power".
