"In his speech in Cairo on the 4th, President Obama said "Resistance through violence and killing is wrong and does not succeed...Violence is a dead end...That's not how moral authority is claimed, that's how it is surrendered." Do you agree or disagree with his statement?" Mr. Obama certainly has a talent for phrasing that condemns both the person with whom he is speaking and himself. "Resistance through violence and killing is wrong and does not succeed-------really Mr. Obama---I ask you---- Mr. Obama: If you are resisting because someone is using violence against you should you not do the same to them? What happened to the Christian belief to which you claim to have embraced---- "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth"---e.g would you have advocated for America to not do anything in the face of the terrorist attacks on New York City----embassies, the Cole and many more-----the beheadings. Would you advocate, not defending oneself through resistance. Do you define resistance as-----resistance to any authority figure such as yourself? Would you not resist and acquiesce to being controlled by a power that wishes to decimate you such as happened in Germany? Is it better to have Obama traveling worldwide, fomenting his thoughts, or is it better to have him here in America. Incidentally, where will Obama be over the July 4th Celebration weekend------is he traveling or will he be here to celebrate the birth of this great nation with Americans?? mj
