Michel Rocard, former French prime minister, argues that the only way to save

Bob Herbert writes: "Whether it's the war in Iraq, or the plight of New Orleans
in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, or the violence and self-destructive

Dr. King has been that of the drug addict or alcoholic to the notion that there
might be a better way. We give lip service to it, and then we ignore it."
