John, John, John...
"..threat to bomb Pakistan?"
Kinda an over-the-top interpretation, I'd say... The possibility of a surgercal strike ain't exactly like bombing Pakistan...
MiziAzizi,
I'm just in fir a 15 minute break but will read the entire speech later... If Ms. Obama's speech is anywhere close to that of Dr. King's it should make fir some good reading... I have a very worn copy of "Testament of Hope" which contains most of Dr. Kings speeches and writings... It's close to 700 pages and it's all very, very good...
Ahhhh, yeah.... I do have concerns about Obama being a target but less because he is black but more because he represents the progressive movement... The last time the pendulum swung toward progrssive thought (and policy) the movement's leaders were assasinated... That does scare me... There are folks in this country who will do whatever it takes to take down a progressive leader...
Tell me again why James Earl Ray killed Dr. King??? Or Sarhan Sauhan killed Bobby Kennedy??? There were no apparent motives... Yes, that bothers me...
