How many paragraphs of oratory do you need?

We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the Red States. But the remarks that have caused this recent firestorm weren't simply controversial. To President Clinton, who last night made the case for change as only he can make it; to Ted Kennedy, who embodies the spirit of service; and to the next Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden, I thank you.

We will all have to make concessions to achieve this. So when they are told to bus their children to a school across town; when they hear that an African American is getting an advantage in landing a good job or a spot in a good college because of an injustice that they themselves never committed; when they're told that their fears about crime in urban neighborhoods are somehow prejudiced, resentment builds over time. In the end, then, what is called for is nothing more, and nothing less, than what all the world's great religions demand - that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us.

That is why we welcome efforts like Saudi Arabian King Abdullah's Interfaith dialogue and Turkey's leadership in the Alliance of Civilizations.

His values - and his record - affirm what is best in us. John Kerry knows this. Nor is it beyond the sea. The document they produced was eventually signed but ultimately unfinished. They came of age in the late fifties and early sixties, a time when segregation was still the law of the land and opportunity was systematically constricted. This has bred more fear and mistrust.

Thank you.
