"Wash Hands"



"Since the end of the Cold War, the international community has on numerous occasions pondered or carried out armed interventions within sovereign states to address humanitarian contingencies such as genocide or severe civil conflicts.  Despite good intentions, interstate interventions rarely succeed in establishing permanent solutions to conflicts and humanitarian crisis within states (see Weiss, 1999; Weiss and Collins, 2000; Regan, 2000)." (Gizelis and Kosek, here)

"The worst possible thing is to imagine that we know when we do not know: it is far better to confess ignorance than to pretend to false knowledge.  And there is little doubt that on some important points, at any rate, we are still groping in the dark.  But if we all admit this, there is some chance that together we may find a road to the light." John Wilson, Language & The Pursuit of Truth (p.74)

"without a good deal of questioning, we shall not be able to discover truth: and without discovering truth, there can be no real progress."  (p.103)


"It does not require outstanding intelligence: it requires only patience and the desire to learn.  The results come with surprising speed. Let us at least try it, and see what happens."  (p.105)
