Is Rev. Wright - Right?

I realize that when you are running for president you have to be very careful about what you say and even what your supporters say about almost anything. The latest person whose comments have been "rejected" is Barack Obama's minister, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Rev. Wright has said some very inflammatory things from the pulpit.

"We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye."

I'm trying to understand where that statement is wrong. Even if you agree with the nuking of Heroshima, was nuking Nagasaki necessary?

"We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost."

Well, we did support the white-led government in South Africa for quite some time and we do seem to support Israel more than we do the Palestinians. And, there really hasn't been much movement on the part of the USA towards mediating an Iraeli-Palestinian peace agreement since Bush has been in office.

What about calling upon God to damn the United States. I think that God is as likely to damn the USA as he is to bless it, as He so often called upon to do. God has some hard decisions to make since Christians, Muslims and Jews are all calling upon Him to support their particular cause. I do understand why blacks in America might not want to bless the USA. They do have some valid complaints.

This is a big to do about nothing. Christian ministers have a record in this country of saying some terrible things. Personally, I am far more offended by Christian-right minister claims that God is punishing the USA because of homosexuals.
