CALL YOUR OWN FOULS !

LETTER SENT TO EDITOR OF SHAWNEE NEWS-STAR: (Pub 9-13-15)


                             Call Your Own Fouls

Iranian inspectors inspecting their own nuclear weapons production facilities are very much akin to a pickup game of basketball: “Call your own fouls” and remember “No harm No foul.” Maybe Sgt  Schultz’--- “I see nothing…nothing…nothing”--- is a more apt summary statement of a deal that has little on the plus side for our country.

The advance warning provision is like a children’s game of hide and seek: “9,997…9,998,…9,999…and 10,000. Here I come ready or not!” Sadly, this treaty is not a game. At a minimum, the survival of Israel is at stake, a reasonable amount of stability in the Middle East is in the balance, the position of U.S. leadership and trust in the world is on the line, ditto our own homeland security, and even the future of mankind is in this chaotic mix.

This matter is a politician’s dream come true. Vote against the treaty and yet vote to sustain the President’s veto. Only in Washington, D.C. can you have your cake and eat it too. It is way past time for all concerned to remember who they are and who they represent. The history of America was not started in 2008 and it will not end in 2016. The interests of America transcend the passing power, legacy, and political gamesmanship of party or persons. The vast majority of current national political persons will probably not even make the footnotes of high school term papers just 20 years from now.

  1. WHY DO I WRITE THESE LETTERS?

    I FEEL STRONGLY THAT HISTORY WILL HARSHLY JUDGE THOSE THAT JUST WAITED AND WATCHED IN THE SHADOWS AS AMERICA FADED INTO THE SUNSET. I WANT FUTURE GENERATIONS TO KNOW WHICH SIDE I WAS ON !!!!

  2. On this 9/11 remembrance day the world is a mess. In large measure because evil has not been confronted or wiped out. May Almighty God forgive us.
