I was a good 50 yards away, on an upper tier, but still, when he walked in, I was surprised to find myself experiencing a frisson-- a chill up the back of my neck. Along with Nelson Mandela, he's one of my heroes. His message was that we are making progress, moving towards peace, that we need outer and INNER disarmament-- that inner disarmament means finding compassion and acting with compassion, even towards our enemies.  </DIV> <BR /><DIV>This is a tough one. I'm going to work on it here, on OpEdNEws, with trolls and right wing creeps. No, no. I said that compassionately. Look, I can be compassionate and still see them as the destructive, unconscious, sleeping, deluded fools that they are-- lotus flowers that are yet to open. I don't know if I can do it with Bush or Cheney. But the Dalai Lama can. I wrote about his take on Bush, here </DIV> <BR /><A href="http://www.opednews.com/articles/Dalai-Lama---Bush-Lacks-Un-by-Rob-Kall-080717-554.html">Dalai Lama: "President Bush...
