Excellent Robert Fisk on an outstanding Irishman. The question of why our society is not doing better protecting people than the society of a 100 fucking years ago is a good one. Great men like Roger Casement should not be required to make governments and nations and people protect the least powerful and least wealthy. Fisk is telling us that Roger Casement would say that the 20th century was wasted, that we have failed to create a more just and more caring society. The next question is why. Is anyone going to ask that question? Is Hillary Clinton? Barack Obama? Anyone with any power?
