This is one of the fundamental differences between liberals (in both parties) and conservatives."The scientific revolution that led to the splitting of an atom requires a moral revolution as well."
So Obama said today at Hiroshima, Japan.
It was pretty obviously an accusation that the "moral revolution" hasn't happened yet. People say it wasn't an apology. Perhaps more of a petulant whine?
Liberals usually require human nature to change, in order for their plans to work. That's why their schemes almost never work.
Liberals try to invent systems that would work beautifully if only people would act in a certain way - a way they have never acted over the long term in history.
Conservatives develop social systems that will work with people acting the way they historically always have. This tends to infuriate liberals, who accuse the conservatives of getting in the way of the liberals' projected utopia.
