"The idea that we can actually have an impact on places more or less instantly, too, by responding in some way or not responding, I think, also makes it true."

Peter Singer
"Had Rumsfeld said at any time 'get me a report on what's going on', he could have had it. You're right, it depends on choices that we make, which parts of the world we want to be in immediate contact with."

Time

Peter Singer
"I don't think there's much point in bemoaning the state of the world unless there's some way you can think of to improve it. Otherwise, don't bother writing a book; go and find a tropical island and lie in the sun."
