 Thank you, Sheldon. Good morning, everybody. As I was walking down the hall, I thought it was a big word, hate. But then somehow it morphed. Come on, morph, morph, endo. There we go. But this way of welcoming you visually really does get to one of the important themes, aspects of our work here this morning during the day. This is at least the second time we've had the opportunity to share the podium with ITVS and others here in the museum, which as Sheldon noted is really a monument to one of our basic values, that is free speech. And free speech is becoming ever freer economically as well as in other ways in what is the elaboration day by day, week by week of the Information Age. The first time I heard the phrase Information Age I was working at the Rand Corporation in 1977. Something called the ARPANET, which was being developed by the Defense Department, was just about to morph into the Internet. And I don't think knowing the kinds of media that we have available to us today that the inventors of these early mass communication techniques had any idea of the capabilities this technology would evolve. And when I first came to the institute in the early 90s, we sensed that the Internet was going to be a very effective vehicle for knitting together communities that weren't really used to working with each other in the service of managing conflict by peaceful means. Specifically, we were looking at the ability of the military to work with the humanitarian assistance NGOs in humanitarian relief operations. Those two communities had not worked together, had very different cultures, and the Internet provided a facilitating way of them communicating and coordinating their activities in various parts of the world. So we were pretty optimistic into the mid-1990s about the possibilities of the Internet for conflict management in terms of peace. Unfortunately, the bad guys were also learning to use mass technology, and one of the things that we have learned is that those who promote violence have learned to use the Internet for propaganda, for recruitment, for raising money. They've even learned to use cell phones, which were a vehicle of social change beginning in the mid-80s in the Philippines when Marcos was overthrown by a mass movement that was coordinated by cell phones. Unfortunately, the bad guys have used them now to set off IEDs in improvised explosive devices, which, as we know, is a primary weapon of choice in the conflicts that were engaged in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other parts of the world. So that understanding conflict today in the way that these technologies can be used for evil or for good is one of our main purposes. And again, as Sheldon Himmelfard underlined, I think in a very pointed phrase, that conflict today is not so much a struggle for territory, for resources. It's really a struggle for the allegiance, for the support of mass publics. And if there's anything that our government has not learned to adapt to in this new age, is the ability to reach out to hostile publics. And I don't think it's unfair to say that our traditional notions of public diplomacy have not kept up with the use of these technologies. And that's why the notion of media's global diplomat is so important. Diplomacy traditionally, of course, was one government communicating to its counterpart. But these new mass communication technologies mean that mass publics can be mobilized very inexpensively, whether it was television or now the Internet, and some of the social networking technologies that Sheldon mentioned as part of our outreach through our programming today. So one of the objectives of the Institute is to try to learn to use these new media to reach mass publics in a more constructive way, to build bridges of understanding, to undermine the credibility of those who would promote hatred and violence. And we're doing it a time when we've gone even far beyond television and the Internet with these new technologies, Facebook, Twitter, some of the names I've... Carly can keep up with myself, much less how to send a tweet. So you all are probably way ahead of my generation in knowing how to use these technologies. But we want to try to use our work today to think about how we can promote conflict resolution by using them. And with that, as just a brief overview of why the Institute of Peace feels that today's program is so important, let me just say that we're delighted to collaborate with ITVS, with Sesame Workshops. We're very pleased that our two moderators, Jamie Tarabay of NPR and Gary Nell of Sesame Workshops are able to work with us to put this show together, as well as the other panelists and experts who you will hear today. So with that as a way of welcoming on behalf of the Institute, I'm very pleased that our collaborator, Sally Jo Pfeiffer, the president and CEO of ITVS, is with us and I hope she'll join us up here. And good to see you again, Jamie.
