I read and was impacted by this book at an early age.

Never more relevant and applicable than right now.

What the Nation and World are crying out:

For us to recognize what's really going on, to make noise about it and to do something - each our unique thing - to make real difference with real people based not on rhetoric and media hype and political agenda, but real information and relationships between real people seeking to understand each other and make our world better, make it what it can be.

I believe a point he was making is that America's failures of leadership and foreign policy were really moral and relationship failures due to the U.S. becoming a nation of followers instead of a nation of leaders and then degrading ourselves, our allies and enemies by becoming violent bullies who can't own their own mistakes instead of leaders. Still happening!

Maybe you'll like the book too.

Maybe we'll do something.

I know I will.

How about you?
