In her letter to you today, Coleen Rowley asks a key question: What choices do you plan to make in life? Her question was echoed in recent remarks by Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) and by Desmond Tutu, archbishop emeritus of Capetown and winner of the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize.

John Kerry doing some Vulcan Mind meld thing on Desmond Tutu
John Kerry:.."Desmond....you will help me keep things quiet in Kenya"
Desmond.[screaming from the mind meld].."I live in South Africa..not Kenya you moron"

Let's see, how about, "Ask not what your country can do for you..."
That's a start. I'll keep working on it.
