The Scream

The re-discovery of Edvard Munch's The Scream ends an extended period of loss of a major icon of Western culture which is also an important asset. Can we now expect an end to the long peirod of silence and torpidity of our elected representatives in response to profoundly disturbing situations such as the state of the Middle East and the Sudan? Or will the rest of us have to scream first?

We could be in for a noisy few months.
