Well, it is rather amazing that we've lasted this long. But considering the outpouring of protest against this war from all over the world, I would really hesitate to say that "mankind is still savage." I think humanity is fundamentally good. It is those who seek and often attain positions of power who are the savages.

One of the main things we need to learn now is that anyone who seeks a position of power should be viewed with the utmost suspicion.
