Quote of the Week:

"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."

"But we will all be taken down with it."

you may remember this guy...

So I saw Clinton give a speech today on the tsunami, in his capacity at the UN. The room was definitely packed out by eager UN and NGO policy nerds.

I'm always a little surprized with what a good speaker he is. It was definitely a different style than the UN is used to seeing--because it's actually good public speaking instead of policy experts slugging through very specific, technical jargon.

He also took a nice jab at Bush's approach to foreign policy without addressing Bush, the War on Terror, or anything that would seem provocative by saying something like, "Once you realize you can't capture, detain, and kill all of your enemies, then you realize you have to compromise." But given the audience, it was clearly addressed to both the focus on governments dealing with rebel groups while providing aid, but also realizing that the Bush doctrine is always on everyone's mind at the UN. It got a pretty loud chuckle from folks.

Check out the UN News story.
