No One Else Had Them

Mr. President,

Khomeini once stated:

"The purest joy in Islam is to kill and be killed for God."

On July 25th the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia stated:

"... No one knows the repercussions befalling the region, including wars and conflict that will spare no one including those whose military power is now tempting themto play with fire."

Alan Arkin, as Inspecter Clouseau, is quoted as saying:

"There is a time to laugh, and there is a time not to laugh, and this is not one of them."

These statements are confusing because one is uncertain who or what is the "them"?

I say:

"Same thing with nuclear weapons".

Tread with extreme caution; we are standing dangerously close to the edge. In '45, no one else had them.

An Appoitment at Armaeddon

Mr. President,

The use of sophisticated brutal force to injure unarmed civilians, especially for political and economic purposes is dishonorable.

Many heroes will rise up with great courage to protect and defend themselves and their loved ones. They will feel frightened, terrorized and angered rather than docile in their reaction to this calamity.

Those who deceitfully mark these as terrorists in effect commit murder.

If such acts are committed in the name of the American People, we are then viewed as a nation of murderers.

The West's interference with the Middle East and our corporate and economic conquest over those weaker nations in the end must be viewed as a gift rather than a curse. We must pay strict attention to how well we are able to convince these beleaguered people that failure to participate in a healthy global economy will inevitably mean severe stress and poverty in the future. Our involvement there is then the lesser of two evils. May God grant us the fortitude to show kindness in the face of resistance and may the time of suffering for all concerned be shortened.
