I, too, was deeply upset by the desire for vengeance following the attacks of 9/11. I have never understood how slaughtering more innocent people would help in that situation.

Interestingly, the Rev. Wright speech on 9/11, for which he has been so reviled, comes down to a message about self examination. He says that he prayed to God for guidance about how to respond to such a horrible thing, and that he ended up believing that he should examine his own self.

He says it better than that. It's really a very good speech. Especially once he gets past the part where he's quoting the Ambassador's stuff about what America has done and how her chickens were coming home to roost.
