"I love Jeremiah Wright."  Updated: Now with angry mob!        ;-}

I've never written an "Omama should say . . ." diary.  And in truth, I have little patience for reading such diaries.  

Having said that, I believe that I know how Senator Obama can defuse and disarm this ridiculous and tiresome "controversy" immediately and for good.

If you can stomach one last Rev. Wright diary, I invite you to read on.

War and Remembrance, the Aussie Way: an ANZAC Day diary

Thu Apr 24, 2008 at 10:31:23 PM PDT

Each year on this date, Australians remember those who have given their lives in war.  As an American living in Sydney, I have been profoundly moved by the way this country honours and genuinely mourns its war dead on ANZAC day.  It is a commemoration that in many ways stands in stark contrast to America's Memorial Day.

At the centre of ANZAC Day is the senseless waste of human life called the battle of Gallipoli.  A nation which grounds its national identity not in a triumphant victory, but in an unmitigated military catastrophe cannot glorify war.  It can only honour the sacrifice of those who have served.
