...course, the general principle that we should back peoples rather than governments does not offer any precise guidelines for policy makers dealing with immediate crises like Afghanistan. On the other hand, its implementation should diminish the likelihood of our continually facing "Afghanistans;" that is, constantly having to "react' to situations which are already well beyond our control. If beginning with the Arab-Israeli conflict seems overly ambitious, this is justified by the gravity and potential dangers of that particular situation at the real level, and by the fact that at the symbolic level, the value in the Arab and Muslim...

How would nurses' unions react to this intrusion of essentially unpaid labor into their turf? How would construction workers' unions react to volunteers building "facilities for the handicapped," or for "waste treatment and recycling?" Furthermore, the Wexlers and the Woffords ignore a fundamental ideal while struggling to revive others: freedom of choice. The youth of this nation are no less moral than others, despite their lack of enthusiasm...
