摘要

How can Americans overcome their divisions? Barack Obama, the son of a lapsed Kenyan Muslim, has some arresting thoughts. On the subject of tackling head-on "the mutual suspicion that sometimes exists between religious America and secular America", the junior senator from Illinois delivered last week one of the best speeches of his brief career. He told the story of a doctor who wrote to him when he was running for the Senate in 2004. The doctor said he might vote for Mr Obama, but was repelled by a line on his campaign website promising to fight "right-wing ideologues who want to take away a woman's right to choose". The doctor wrote: "I sense that you have a strong sense of justice, [but] whatever your convictions, if you truly believe that those who oppose abortion are all ideologues driven by perverse desires to inflict suffering on women, then you, in my judgment, are not fair-minded."
