"9/11 Quote of the Day"

"I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness as Negroes, Jews, Italians or any other distinctions. This will be the day when we bring into full realization the American dream -- a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality, of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream of a land where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few; a dream of a land where men will not argue that the color of a man's skin determines the content of his character; a dream of a nation where all our gifts and resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest of humanity; the dream of a country where every man will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality."

- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Today, we are at war against those who do not share this dream, and we are not at war by choice. We are at war against those who believe it is right to kill in the name of their god. We are at war against those who have no respect for the dignity or worth of the human personality. We are at war against those who fear opportunity. We are at war against those who abhor equality and embrace radicalism. We are at war against those who die to support a rhetoric of hate.

We are at war, and this threat must be dealt with.
