Another Waste of Time
Humiliation is the single most powerful human emotion, and overcoming it is the second most powerful human emotion.

—Thomas Friedman, Out of Touch, Out of Time, New York Times, Feb. 10, 2011.

I’m not entirely sure Friedman is right on this one, but humiliation certainly counts as one of the more powerful human motivators—a lesson American foreign policy makers would do well to remember, especially in Israel.
