I agree Julius...I especially liked the fact that he is telling the world that each country must no longer live in a social, economic, moral, technological, or political social vacuum.

That to do so limits the possibilities and potential for continued economic, technological, social, and moral development.
He is a remarkable speaker who knows how to make his points in language understandable to all and provides persuasive examples to bolster his position. While many may disapprove of some things Clinton did during his tenure, he also was a remarkable speaker. He had the intelligence and a strong belief in removing barriers. I can not imagine W ever making a speech that comes close to Blair. Bully for Blair! Peace........Sharon "J. R. Mills" wrote: > > Concur. I watched Blair's speech on C-Span as well.
