I was just thinking of Mr. Khizr Khan at the convention [View all]

I was remembering his speech, one of most ( perhaps the most) powerful, brilliant and tragic moments in any convention.

When I heard it I felt it was the moment Hillary won the presidency. It was a feeling that went deep down, a feeling strong in every fiber of my being...

Now, tonight, I'm wondering g how much pain he is in. My heart is breaking for him, for me, for all of us here.

Oh, Mr Khan, your crime was speaking with a foreign accent. Only the suffering of white parents of heroes count.

Mr Khan, my thoughts are with you today and tomorrow. You are a hero to me.
