THE TOP TEN POLITICAL SPEECHES OF ALL TIME
An interesting list, but you should have properly labelled it The Top Ten AMERICAN Political Speeches of all Time, otherwise how to explain your omission of some of the great oratory like Pericles' funeral oration (Athens, 431BC), Cromwell's dismissal of the Rump Parliament ("In the name of God, Go!", 1653), William Pitt the Younger's speech at The Lord Mayor's Banquet after the Battle of Trafalgar ("Europe is not be saved by any single man", 1805), any of half a dozen addresses by Sir Winston Churchill (1940-45), Vaclav Havel's inauguration ("A contaminated moral environment", Prague, 1990), or even Christ's Sermon on the Mount ("Blessed are the poor in spirit", ca 33AD).
Thank you.
