"My thoughts exactly! WTF, he talked about being inspired by the non-violence of MLK and then said something to the effect of "but these are days of evil". Oh right, MLK didn't live in evil days.

What we can do however, as was explained to me by Renee's Pakistani classmate's mom, is try to engage this country with a new level of respect and diplomacy.
