I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers.. I welcome it.

We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors and we expect you to point them out when we miss them.
John F. Kennedy

But wherever we are, we must all, in our daily lives, live up to the age-old faith that peace and freedom walk together. In too many of our cities today, the peace is not secure because freedom is incomplete. (John F. Kennedy, June 10, 1963, American University speech)
