Is the West Politically unaware?

The west, how often do we point our fingers in the direction of the west when there are issues? Narain Jashanmal and I usually sit and talk about some cool mags and the ideas in them, this week I am alone. I opened the phone to chat about global ideas and awareness fueled by the 90th anniversary of Foreign Affairs and the 5th anniversary of Monocle. The reality is we are pretty unaware! And it is our fault.
