As I noted
here, Sharpton seems to be toning down the rhetoric. As far as Jesse, he earned massive brownie points IMO for helping to get those POW's out of Yugoslavia. But I don't think Jesse will run for political office again; his best chance was probably '92...I think his son (currently a Congressman from South Chicago) is ready to take the mantle. I think he's still very relevant in the departments of civil rights and working for unity; however, I also think that he needs to pick and choose his battles better (e.g. the students that were suspended in Decatur, IL a few years back).
Saddam, with all due respect to Allah, you might need to call the Vatican.
