Obama Brings Up the Race Issue

I guess this is all to deflect the venom spewed by Rev. Jeremiah Wright. I'm glad Obama was quick to condemn that sort of hate speech.
"We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the
thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye," Wright
said. "We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black
South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost."

I think Wright forgot that the Democratic Truman Administration was the ones that decided to drop the bomb that ended WW2. Also the same Truman administration recognized Israel as well and advocated their right of self-defence against terror. Also it was the Reagan Administration that imposed economic sanctions on South Africa in a bid to end Apartheid.

Finally, all of these things (the support of Israel was just an Al-Quida scapegoat) had nothing to do with 9/11 at all. In fact I hope someone tells Rev. Wright that it wasn't Japanese, or Palestinians or Black South Africans that flew those planes into those buildings.
