A pastor burns a Koran in Florida and UN officials die in Afghanistan.<br><br>Drawing on a lifetime of writing about dictatorships and dissidents, Timothy Garton Ash argues that in this connected world that he calls cosmopolis, the way to combine freedom and diversity is to have more but also better free speech.
