.from the Archbishop of Canterbury:
"For one to live under threat, whether of occupation, or of terror, is a problem for all, and a pain for all.
The wall which we walked through a little while ago is a sign not simply of a sign of a passing problem in the politics of one region; it is sign of some of the things that are most deeply wrong in the human heart itself. That terrible fear of the other and the stranger which keeps all of us in one another kind of prison.
In one of the hymns which we sing in English during the Advent season we sing about Jesus Christ as the One who comes the prison bars to break."
Thank you, your Grace!
Compare the Archbishop's concerns with Hillary, Inc.'s enthusiasm for the same wall:
(Article Continues Below)
"'This is not against the Palestinian people,' Clinton said as she gazed over the massive wall. 'This is against the terrorists. The Palestinian people have to help to prevent terrorism. They have to change the attitudes about terrorism.'"
One definition of insanity is the repetition of the same action hoping for a different result.
If we really believe that replacing Republican warmongers with Democratic warmongers will bring peace to this world, then we are just as mad as the Mystic on Pennsylvania Avenue.
