1. State Senator Barack Obama, September 19th 2001:
"Even as I hope for some measure of peace and comfort to the bereaved families, I must also hope that we as a nation draw some measure of wisdom from this tragedy. Certain immediate lessons are clear, and we must act upon those lessons decisively. We need to step up security at our airports. We must reexamine the effectiveness of our intelligence networks. And we must be resolute in identifying the perpetrators of these heinous acts and dismantling their organizations of destruction.
"We must also engage, however, in the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness. The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others. Such a failure of empathy, such numbness to the pain of a child or the desperation of a parent, is not innate; nor, history tells us, is it unique to a particular culture, religion, or ethnicity. It may find expression in a particular brand of violence, and may be channeled by particular demagogues or fanatics. Most often, though, it grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair.
"We will have to make sure, despite our rage, that any U.S. military action takes into account the lives of innocent civilians abroad. We will have to be unwavering in opposing bigotry or discrimination directed against neighbors and friends of Middle Eastern descent. Finally, we will have to devote far more attention to the monumental task of raising the hopes and prospects of embittered children across the globe-children not just in the Middle East, but also in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and within our own shores."

What is wrong with that speech???
-
IMO, the translation of that speech is "We're gonna bomb the fck out of the bad guys, but let's not turn into a bunch of pricks dropping racist slurs nonstop like generations before, so the people who live in the USA and love it don't feel like shit in their own country".
His military action was bigger (spending wise) that Bush, right? He just doesn't like seeing drunk pricks and football games screaming slurs about certain races or religions of other americans. Makes those ppl look like jackasses, and hurts national morale when they do it against other americans who haven't done a damn thing wrong.

240, you're really, really, really stupid.

Trust me, not one person I know remotely expressed sentiments like this mealy mouthed crap obama spewed.
-
How does obama plan on giving muslim fanatics empathy so they don't do this again?
-
Climate of poverty and despair?
That is dead wrong as well and studies have shown that.
If poverty causes terrorism, why not suicide bombers in india, sub saharan africa, etc?
