 Worldwide war protests—China, Tokyo, Australia, Paris, London.

Already suffering from media fatigue. Once that happens the media can manufacture news ad nauseam, and no one would even care. (I think people will want music as a diversion, an anodyne).

"An imposed democracy is a dictatorship".

The answer is art and music (or in bursts of inspiration from unlikely sources at surprising moments).

If you make Baghdad into a Vegas, it will be worse than before.

All the protests are really about cultural hegemony. They are not concerned about people, but rather the culture of the people.
