So over bigotry!

Dear Diary,

Today I had an interview with Katie Couric. Aside from us talking about how awesome I was a National Security Advisor, and how awesome I am as Secretary of State, we talked about what it was like for me to grow up in the segregated South, afraid of white people.

I remember very well in 1963, when Birmingham was so violent. When it acquired the name "Bomb-ingham." Diary, I remember feeling that even with my wonderfully protective family, you had to wonder "why are they doing this to us?" I was really upset when the church blew up 2 miles from our house and the four little girls were killed. One of the girls, Denise McNair was my little friend from kindergarten. And she was a playmate and I just couldn't believe that she was dead.

All people who commit terror against innocents do it for the same purpose. Some people say "well they do it to prove a political point." Then why go after little girls? These little girls weren't gonna hurt anybody. They didn't have any political power. This was just meant to terrorize the community. It's the worst kind of inhumanity to just go after innocent people who are just going about their daily lives like those little girls who were just in the bathroom after Sunday school.

That's why we need armies to go in and bomb out the terrorists from places like Iraq and Afghanistan. To bomb them before they can bomb us. There is something beautiful about, as I said, "speaking for people who are voiceless." It feels really good when you can put words in the mouths of people who probably want democracy.
