The Statue of Liberty likeness illustrated on the cover of "Enlightenment" is a very symbolic image not only for Americans but for many other people of the world who harbor dreams for "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." However, there are many individual and collective responsibilities that come with any such vision. Most Americans know orderly governmental systems are required to maintain a civilized culture, but in many societies one often wonders what type is most appropriate.

An estimated thirty-two million Kurds live in "Kurdistan," which includes parts of Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and Iran--today's "hot spots" in the Middle East.
