Over the years I have written letters on current events to the AJC where many have been published. This blog contains postings of all of my letters, in their original unedited form, so that my thoughts and opinions are available for all to see.

Bin Laden's death, one year later.
Letter to AJC 5-1 -2012
One year ago our commander-in-chief made the tough decision to send in the seal team to take down the most infamous terrorist of our time. He made the hard choice to put our military in harm's way to ensure we rid ourselves of this monster. He could have ordered a remote drone attack, or he could have listened to the nay-sayer's clamor, but instead he took the courageous path and today the world is Bin Laden free.
One would think that all Americans would cheer him on and be grateful to have such a strong decisive president who actually makes things happen. Instead we see Republican spluttering and denial as they try to denigrate President Obama's action in killing Bin Laden after 8 years of apathy by the last (Republican) administration. We are not fooled. It's clear that Romney and all the other conservative talking heads are only interested in themselves and their party ideology. It takes a strong man to admit that his adversary has succeeded. It's apparent that there are no strong Republicans anymore, just rich and greedy good old boys.
