Another partisan Democrat agreeing with you, Doboji - it was far and away the best speech he's given. I also loved that:
-He called specifically for "patient justice", and consistently for justice rather than revenge
-He singled out the Taliban, rather than blaming Afghanistan in general
-He was extremely respectful of Islam, Arabs, and Arab-Americans. Although I'm an atheist, the line about "prayers said in English, Hebrew, and Arabic" was IMO the best line in there
Further, when he talked about the badge, he seemed genuinely moved, which combined with the story moved me very much. Great job to him, and I hope this continues.
