"Compassion and nonviolence help us to see the enemy's point of view, to hear his questions, to know his assessment of ourselves. For from his view we may indeed see the basic weaknesses of our own condition, and if we are mature, we may learn and grow and profit from the wisdom of the brothers who are called the opposition."
~ Martin Luther King Jr.
Barack and Michelle Obama meet George and Laura Bush in the White House today. The New York Times remarks on the potential "for a meeting that could be as awkward as it is historic. . . (given). . . the personal chemistry between two leaders whose worldviews are miles apart."
Let's hope for some brotherly love!
