Students often ask me, “You’ve traveled a lot. Is it true that people in other countries all hate us?”
People normally don’t but if they knew that the leading US newspaper starts a Saturday feature with “Sometimes it seems as if we’re living under a constant barrage of heavy news. But it isn’t all bad out there,” they’d probably consider it. Self-pity in the midst of incredible opulence is not cute.
Somebody really hates France:
// One person was killed in a knife attack in Paris on Saturday and the assailant was shot dead by police, a police source said.
The police source said some seven people had been injured.
BFM TV said two were in a critical condition.
A judicial source said authorities were looking into whether the anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office should be handling the case.

Israeli news site reports the attacker shouted “allahu akbar” before being shot.
