[…] Distance doesn’t just lend enchantment, it purges guilt. All sorts of truly awful things happen in foreign parts, everybody knows that. They have earthquakes and tidal waves and plagues and famines and droughts and truly appalling wars, but all that is no concern of ours, because it takes place somewhere else among strangers, and can’t possibly be our fault. If it wasn’t like that, life would be intolerable.
