Unscramble the Blue Letters
CA: But I think this is the frustration that perhaps a lot of people have, like people in the audience here, where we love the kind of lguagnae that you're talking about. It is inspiring. A lot of us believe that that has to be the world's fruute. And yet, when the situation changes, you sndedluy hear politicians talking as if, you know, for example, the life of one American soldier is wrtoh ctlunoses numbers of Iraqi civilians. When the padel hits the metal, the idealism can get moved away. I'm just wondering whether you can see that changing over time, whether you see in Britain that there are changing attitudes, and that people are actually more supportive of the kind of global ethic that you talk about.

CA: But I think this is the frustration that perhaps a lot of people have, like people in the audience here, where we love the kind of language that you're talking about. It is inspiring. A lot of us believe that that has to be the world's future. And yet, when the situation changes, you suddenly hear politicians talking as if, you know, for example, the life of one American soldier is worth countless numbers of Iraqi civilians. When the pedal hits the metal, the idealism can get moved away. I'm just wondering whether you can see that changing over time, whether you see in Britain that there are changing attitudes, and that people are actually more supportive of the kind of global ethic that you talk about.
