You are witnessing ... the third great totalitarian challenge to open societies in the last 100 years. Militant Islamists pose a serious threat because they attack the most essential element of an open society: trust. Trust is built into every aspect, every building and every interaction in our increasingly hyperconnected world. Without trust, there's no open society because there aren't enough police to guard every opening in an open society. So what to do? Tom Friedman returns from the holidays with some deep thoughts about the future. Stay tuned. | |||
