Question

Read this excerpt from the conclusion of Elie Wiesel's "The Perils of

Indifference" speech:

Does it mean that we have learned from the past? Does it

mean that society has changed? Has the human being

become less indifferent and more human? Have we really

learned from our experiences? Are we less insensitive to

the plight of victims of ethnic cleansing and other forms of

injustices in places near and far? Is today's justified

intervention in Kosovo, led by you, Mr. President, a lasting

warning that never again will the deportation, the

terrorization of children and their parents, be allowed

anywhere in the world? Will it discourage other dictators in

other lands to do the same?
