Reply #1: kwassa, thanks for posting this on here. Am no fan of Mr. Colin Powell, [View All]

he could have really made a difference but all of that is now water under the bridge with so many lives lost, Gitmo and the destruction of a sovereign country. If Mr. Powell is so remorseful, he should speak up against the Bush administration.

No doubt he was racially profiled even though he held a high office. Racial profiling did not end when President Obama was elected.

The Gates fiasco is just the tip of the iceberg and no doubt, it will continue. Who on earth would deem it right to handcuff a person who obviously needs a cane to walk and after showing his ID that he is the home owner. President Obama has a lot of guts to invite Crowley for a beer at the White House along with Professor Gates. Let's see how this pans out.

Am more concerned with health care in the US but the President is matured enough to know how to diffuse this wrongful arrest.
