Talk at Hotel Plaza in Chicago. [PUP83]
In this talk He said, ""Observe what is taking place in Tripoli: men cutting each
other into pieces, bombardment from the sea, attacks from the land and the hail of dynamite
from the very heaven itself." and denounced imperialism and colonialism by saying that men conquering other territories in our times are considered by
Him to be nothing less than "tyrants" and "murderers", and even worse than wolves. [Colonialism, Nationalism and Jewish Immigration to Palestine: Abdu´l-Baha's Viewpoints Regarding the Middle East by Kamran Ekbal p20]
Afterward He gave each child an envelope with a rose petal and invited all of them to Lincoln Park for a photograph. He asked for time alone and walked over to a statue of Abraham Lincoln at which He gazed for a while. [PUP84; Luminous Journey 51:25]
