I just saw the following comment on the Post's site. I think it would make a pretty good election night speech:
Obama's acceptance speech should begin thusly: "Bring my enemies here, stripped of their arms, so that they may kneel at my feet and pledge fealty. Then they will be free to return to their fields and families. As for those who refuse, they are to be banished to Mexico or Mogadishu, yea, the empty wastes of tribal Pakistan, that they may know either joys of limited government or Taliban rule that they so desperately crave. And so there will be peace in the kingdom, plenty and good governance thereof."
