His Highness Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese, the head of state in Samoa, recently quoted the Swiss Catholic priest Hans Küng to the participants of a conference on religious diversity at National University of Samoa in April 2012: "There will be no peace among the nations without peace among the religions; and there will be no peace among the religions without dialogue and cooperation among the religions and civilizations."
I thought of this quote this morning when I read the New York Times' article about an Egyptian court ordering the immediate dissolution of the Islamist-led parliament, a move that practically begs for malcontent between the supporters of the old president and the supporters of the new government. And judging by the article, a lot of people agree with me.
Question is, what does this court hope to accomplish?
We watch our two parties deadlock on creating a budget and see why it may seem easier to clean out all the old party and put in an entirely new one rather than hoping a mixture will learn to make decisions that benefit ALL the people and not just make their own relatives rich.
