  As I read the article written by Jon Meachcham entitled :"More a matter of mystery than magic" One point threw me into deep thinking.When Meacham mentioned in his article:"Where was god at Aushwitz?" I thaught about all of the miseries and massacres that we could have asked this question.I write this to ask the writer:Where was god in Nagasaki and Hisroshima?,Where was god in Iraq when millions were killed because of still unknown reasons?!where was god in palestine when israel committed massacres that killed children,women and men?!I only like to share this note wit the Newsweek readers because this question of where was god is very important in these days where damages and msieries are spreading.However,this question should be asked for everytime in history where men committed hideous crimes against other men and not only for a certain event like Aushwitz.

  A good poem but you seem to be somewhat naive. Can you explain how democracy would work without libraries, free public schools, clean parks, a police force and other taxable commodities which make a true democracy possible?

  I disagree with the comment by Chagasman. I thought the article was relevent. There are lots of people who care what a canidate believes about Jesus. In fact this is the most important issue for me when I am considering what canidate to vote for. I also appreciate that while Barack Obama is a born again beliver, he is not a legalist that condems followers of other religions to hell. That decision is God's alone.
