While it is still pretty hard to excuse mass murder for any reason, I do agree with the Rev. Wright's statement "The chickens have come home to roost". In general, the U.S. has done considerable economic and military "misadventure" in and to other countries and peoples. Thus, is it any surprise that someone might want to take a shot at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon? I don't think so.
When I was a kid growing up in Europe, I was grateful for the things sent to us by Americans, including by American children. From powdered milk to powdered eggs, to Hershey bars, and many, many more things Europeans have forgotten, and so have all the nations of this ingrate world. Which country in this world has NOT RECEIVED a helping hand from us? And why and how come these chickens do not come home to roost?
The Rev. Wright is a jerk of the first order. He, as the Christian he is not, only sees what's wrong, not what's right with this country. I'd be happy to contribute to a fund to send him back to Africa, WHERE HE WOULD NOT WANT TO GO. He overlooks and makes nought the many success stories of blacks in this country, of which he is one. Let him take his hate message to any African country and see how far he gets and how fast he winds up in jail or dead.
Obama, regardless of his post-Wright rhetoric, is guilty by association. I will not vote for him.
It is, of course, your right by virtue of free speech to concur with his kind, but freedom of speech carries along responsibilities you seem not to recognize.
