Washington, D.C.

As long as we have difficult and complex problems, and as long as there are groups within the United States who feel that there are easy answers—that everything has to be seen in black and white, and that we can deal with these matters rapidly, without a great deal of thought and a great deal of time— we are going to have some extremism. As long as these same groups feel that they cannot have confidence in the judgment of democracy or in the American people, we are going to have extremism.
