Thoughts

Knock-out from page A22

We think nothing of driving
half an hour to a good restaurant,
but we'll settle for a hospital
that's right around the corner.

As long as your health insurance allows you to go
anywhere, maybe you shouldn't confine yourself to
the neighborhood.

Because this isn't dinner, this is your life.

Year after year, the people of Southeast Michigan have
rated Beaumont as their most preferred hospital. Most
preferred for surgery and for overall quality of care.

Do you have a Beaumont doctor?

I turn to Husseini in a friendly
tone.
"We have something in common
that nobody else in this auditorium
shares:'
Husseini looks at me in surprise.
The audience becomes alert, waiting
for peace to break out in the hall.
"I think that you and I are the only
people in this entire auditorium that
believe in God," I continue. "You do
believe in God; isn't that correct, Mr.
Husseini?"
Husseini nods his agreement.
"Now look," I continue."' have
brought a Bible with me. This is my
holy book:'
I take a Bible out of my briefcase
and place it on the coffee table.
"Jerusalem appears in my holy
book more than 800 times. You can
count if you would like."
Husseini nods his head, looking
confused.
"I also brought another book," I
continue as I pull a Koran that I had
borrowed from the library out of my
briefcase. "This is a Koran. It is your
holy book. Is that correct?"
Husseini nods his agreement. I
place the Koran on the coffee table
next to the Bible. "Can you please
count how many times Jerusalem
appears in your holy book? You will
not have to work hard because it
doesn't appear at all. Now tell me —
to whom does Jerusalem belong? To
the People of the Bible or the People
of the Koran?"
To my surprise, the audience
begins to applaud. This is the lan-
guage with which we will retain our
sovereignty over Jerusalem.
