<< As they interact with the rest of the wolrd, and as they see that there are other ways "to live", most peoples evolve. >>

Unfortunately, there is the possibility of criminally insane and/or criminally corrupt leaders. We've seen it in the past with Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc., and we are seeing it currently in North Korea, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Afganistan, PLO among others. These leaders don't care about "other ways to live". They are only interested in their own selfish little arses. They will bleed and starve their people, and inflict misery upon their own people, and they don't give a damn.

I hope that your positive view of the future comes to be true. I have my doubts.

I was looking for signs of good news actually with the apparent expedited entry to the WTO. Now that China is "in the club", they will have more to gain by helping us out.
