The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

Well Leo, I appreciate your viewpoint. Maybe I'm just an optimist at heart but I found a good deal of the speech inspiring, not perfect, but still I'm hopeful.

So long as our relationship is defined by our differences, we will empower those who sow hatred rather than peace, those who promote conflict rather than the cooperation that can help all of our people achieve justice and prosperity. And this cycle of suspicion and discord must end.

Of course both sides in the US can take this to heart, as well. When I read the above I thought of Dick Cheney immediately. But that's just me.
