POPSOh yeah, and don't trust yourself either! The Chinese philosopher Xun Zi said that human nature is not particularly good, but he went on to argue that doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to make it better.

POPSInvading Irrelevant Countries.. So Al-Qaeda is in Afghanistan and they invade Iraq. Now it is in Pakistan, never mind.. weapons of mass destruction are there too -- never mind that.

POPSIndian President's Sufi ideas Oddly, India's mystic minded Muslim President was also the father of the Indian Nuclear Bomb... shades of Oppenheimer. From Wikipedia: Oppenheimer later recalled that while witnessing the explosion he thought of a verse from the Hindu holy book, the Bhagavad Gita: " If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one... " Years later he would explain that another verse had also entered his head at that time: "We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that one way or another."
