Faith, Respect, Politics, Religion

History, Time, Day, People, Clock, Find

Eyring

World, Live, Finding, Look, Television

Since genocide is a form of political utopia, it remains an enduring temptation in any multiethnic and multicultural society in crisis. Michael Ignatieff

Truth, Politics, Society, People, End
