i especially like the following points he’s making (i quote (and violate copyright… c’mon, it’s for a good cause!)) :

Imagine the difference it would have made if our leaders:

• Had supported other international agreements such as those designed to protect the environment […]
• Had been honest in answering the question, “Why do they hate us?” instead of arrogantly asserting that they hate us because we are so good, so successful and so free.
• Had redirected those added billions for the military into efforts to drain the swamps of poverty, hunger, illness, oppression and despair that are the breeding ground for more hatred and terrorism.
• Had declared that our borders are open to international inspection and that we will significantly reduce and, within a global security system, eventually eliminate our own weapons of mass destruction.
