How Do You Keep War

I'm Very Struck By What You Can Do In A Classroom. I've Got 200 Students. You Don't Do Partisan Politics In A Classroom, That's Not Appropriate. But You Want To Give Them A Strong Sense That These Are The Issues That Matter.

The Politics Of Personal Destruction, The Politics Of Division, The Politics Of Fear, It's All There. It Helps You To Define The Politics Of Moderation - The Politics Of Democratic Respect, The Politics Of Hope - More Clearly.

I Teach Students That What People Say About Failure In Politics Is Mostly Wrong. People Always Told Me, 'they'll Praise You On Your Way Up And Kick You On Your Way Down.' That Wasn't My Experience. I Can't Walk Down The Street In Toronto Without Someone Coming Up And Saying Hello.

If You Get The Access To See History Happen, Do You Understand The History When It Does Happen? And The Answer To That Question Is No, You Dont.

Genocide Is Not Just A Murderous Madness; It Is, More Deeply, A Politics That Promises A Utopia Beyond Politics - One People, One Land, One Truth, The End Of Difference. Since Genocide Is A Form Of Political Utopia, It Remains An Enduring Temptation In Any Multiethnic And Multicultural Society In Crisis.
