Arrogance Without Purpose

  The time for denying, deceiving, and delaying has come to an end. Saddam Hussein must disarm himself–or, for the sake of peace, we will lead a coalition to disarm him. By its past and present actions, by its technological capabilities, by the merciless nature of its regime,  Iraq  is unique As a former chief weapons inspector of the UN has said, the fundamental problem with  Iraq  remains the nature of the regime, itself. Saddam Hussein is a homicidal dictator who is addicted to weapons of mass destruction. We’re making ourselves look like the bully of the town  kind of cowboy shot first ask questions later attitude. We are not rejecting any resolutions of the Security Council.  I think now the Security Council will go to  Baghdad  and have all facilities, feel free to search any site in  Iraq , even the sensitive sites, or so-called presidential sites .  We would do anything really to finish with that item, with the question ...

  You know, you may think that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is a “dreamer.”  I beg to differ with you.  “The Dream” that Martin Luther King had in 1963 that he spoke of at the base of the Lincoln Memorial, the man wasn’t “dreaming” when he made a speech—“The Crisis in America’s Cities: An Analysis of Social Disorder and a Plan of Action Against Poverty, Discrimination and Racism in Urban America.”  This plan was presented by Dr. King to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, on August 15, 1967.  A million words will be written and spoken to dissect the ghetto outbreaks, but for a perceptive and vivid expression of culpability I would like to submit two sentences written a century ago by Victor Hugo: ‘If the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed.

I am happy to see my brothers honored, because what I know of them and their great works, honor that you receive today can never pay for the sacrifices that each one of you have made to improve the quality of life of others. But, who really knows these men? Who really knows the path that they have trod to get to where they are? These men who are honored today: Their story can never be fully known by their contemporaries. We can read about each of their accomplishments; we can hear them in a sermon or on the radio, or personally experience their goodness, but that’s not all to their life story. The contemporaries of Jesus didn’t know him like those who came after him would  come to know him . When death comes and puts a period to our testament; and the historians come and gather the bits and pieces of our liv...
