I just like this for what it is and maybe this was produced during the honeymoon period when all the promises had yet to be broken and Barack was all things to all men. Potent change was in the air and this time it was going to be different. It always is but when you are leader of half or the world's weaponry how can you expect the leader to be a pacifists or a “Buddha”. It was never going to happen and never will. The Prince who became the Buddha went in the opposite direction from having ultimate power to a humble ascetic seeking the truth of our place in the universe and how to change the world. Mr Obama it is not through violence sanctioned or otherwise that change will happen – that is change that I believe in.All forms of violence, especially war, are totally unacceptable as means to settle disputes between and among nations, groups and persons.
