*cough* Well that doesn't apply to Bush and co. <_< Halliburton sure made out with Iraq contracts.

Do you want to give us another question, Malte?

Sticking with famous speeches, what did John F. Kennedy describe as our (Americans' and Soviets') most basic common links in one of his most famous speeches, held not very long before his assassination?

Our similar culutires, perhaps?

Nope. Same as with the Eisenhower address there are way too many possible possibilities for this one to be guessed. I guess it needs to be looked up.

Nick22 · **Reply #144 on:** January 18, 2005, 04:05:57 PM

Well I'll keep guessing anyway

I don't suppose you'll ever get the answer that way. It would be more than a coincidence if by chance you guessed the same formulation JFK used in this famous speech (which was held at a university by the way). What's the problem about entering the keywords at google?

Nick22 · **Reply #146 on:** January 19, 2005, 12:07:14 PM

i'm lazy that way.

: Since you insist , I'll goggle to find the answer. A 1963 JFK speech, given a few months before he was killed? Interesting.

Using google is actually the lazy variant compared to checking out the millions of possibilities of what JFK might have said. Add the words "most basic common link" to your search and you are sure to get the speech.

So its something the US and USSR had in common? Hmm.

It is really not difficult to find out about what he said.

Our most basic common link is that...

Just go on.

A speech on a nuclear trest ban? He gave it in june of 1963, saying the US and USSR had common interest in making sure that thier people were not harmed by the fallout of testing, and that the arms race threatened the safety of booth the Russian and American people.

So it was even lter than that? Ok.

Really, all you need to do is entering Kennedy and the part of the speech I've given you already at google and you will get the part of the speech I'm talking of right away.

Nick22 · **Reply #154 on:** January 25, 2005, 10:57:21 AM

Maybe this is it ."For in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breathe the same air, we all cherish our children's future, and we are all mortal."
