Hope for humanity?

Just saw a beautiful Korean movie, "The Way Home". About an old woman and her grandson. Heartbreaking.
For no apparent reason it made me want to discuss Private Jessica Lynch.

Fire and Ice
Robert Frost
�
Some say the world will end in fire;
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
