CURRENT EVENTS: "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee".
Therefore, Arafat's death diminishes me, but not by much. I hope there will be a free election in January, and the Palestinians elect leaders that move from hate to peace in their own land.
There has been a free election in America. I hope our leaders will move America forward. The majority of voters in America do not hate President Bush , or Senator Kerry. Angry mobs may attract TV camera crews(while the camera is on), but elections are not won by the candidate with the most haters. Let there be discussion in the Congress, let there be debate - not hate.
The Palestinians have a golden opportunity to secure security for their citizens. Americans have the same opportunity to bring the three branches of our government back into working order.
"Public office is a public trust." Some elected officials seem to have lost sight of this, some judges think it does not apply to them. "A politician looks to the next election, a statesman to the next generation." Now is the time for statesmenship.
