Promoting his new book, God Has A Dream: A Vision of Hope For Our Time, on Jon Stewart's The Daily Show, Desmond Tutu was incredibly compassionate, and downright adorable. Assessing the global perception of Americans abroad, he said:
He concluded with the hope that one day "we will realize that we are all part of God's family. No exceptions."Most people believe that you are wonderful people. But can't understand what you're doing. Export not bombs, but your compassion and your generosity.
I must say that I found this all deeply moving. Though I am not a tremendously religious person (as evidenced by all those mean things I said about the Pope), I would highly recommend catching this interview when it is repeated. Incidentally, Comedy Central runs the show approximately thirty times a day.
