Just a few days ago, on October 1, 2007, Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tzipi Livni, addressed the 62nd General Assembly of the United Nations. They assembled in New York, and his speech was one full of many moving words.
In her speech, she made a point about the next generation that is growing up right now in the Middle East. This region is a territory where, "...we see children's television programs in which a Mickey Mouse puppet teaches the glory of being a suicide bomber and a seven year old girl sings of her dreams of blood and battle." What does this kind of attitude mean for the future of the Middle East? According to Livni, "There is no more accurate forecast for the future of a society than the lessons it teaches its children."
She went on to touch on the subjects of religion and how Iran is the leader of the terrorism that is victimizing nations. She ended her speech by saying, "At all levels of society, there is a price to be paid. But if we do not pay it today, we, and those who follow us, will face a far greater bill tomorrow." She is convinced that the future of nations depends on the choices that are made today.
