The very interconnectivity that increasingly binds the world together has empowered those who would tear that world down. Terrorist networks can spread their doctrines in the blink of an eye; they can probe the world economic system’s weakest links, knowing that an attack in London or Tokyo will reverberate in New York or Hong Kong; weapons and technology that were once the exclusive province of nation-states can now be purchased on the black market, or their designs downloaded off the Internet; the free travel of people and goods across borders, the lifeblood of the global economy, can be exploited for murderous ends.
BARACK OBAMA, The Audacity of Hope
“Or so I assume, since that’s how *I* operate.”
“Therefore, give-up your guns!”
Harvey, did you actually read that book to get the quotes?
If so, I’m going to have to think on whether it’s laudatory or stupid.
@2 – I’m not THAT dedicated to IMAO.
Check the link – it’s to a site full of Obama quotes. I’m slowly making my way through…
Wait, you expect me to click links?
I don’t even click the links I post.
@4 – To paraphrase somebody or other, “you have to click the link to find out what’s in it”.
