Killing Bin Laden will inspire 10 more says Dalai Lama

Fundamentalism is terrifying because it is based purely on emotion, rather than intelligence: "'It is fascinating. In the West, you have bigger homes, yet smaller families; you have endless conveniences -- yet you never seem to have any time. You can travel anywhere in the world, yet you don't bother to cross the road to meet your neighbours,' he said.
'I don't think people have become more selfish, but their lives have become easier and that has spoilt them. They have less resilience, they expect more, they constantly compare themselves to others and they have too much choice -- which brings no real freedom.' "

A truly interesting man.
