Were my captors worse than the Guant=E1namo jailers?

Our leaders' shallowness and short-termism has fuelled the engine of
war. We need wisdom to overcome our darker side

On my first visit to Lebanon since my release as a hostage in 1991 I
visited a refugee camp. I met some young people who were on a
computer-literacy course. They had made good progress. "What about your
future?" I asked. "What future?" one replied. "To get a job in Lebanon
is virtually impossible as jobs go first to Lebanese citizens. We have
no right of return to the place our grandfathers came from, and how can
we go abroad when we are refugees? We are trapped."
