I watched P.Galbraith's discussion and Q&A and was totally mesmerized and absorbed by his expertise,courage,honesty and integrity. He is a man among men,a reminder of what America is capable of,in a dark age of american history. He instructed us all that this dark age is about to end,all the forces of ignorance,prejudice and fear will no longer rule the White House and Federal govt. We know they will still be around, doing their best to undermine the Obama administration, but men like Peter Galbraith are also out there and they will do all they can to help America get back to its best self.
