A well written Letter.

[JackLuis]

I found this letter while Buzz-flashing, that is checkin' upon the Loony Left.
It is very seldom we see a letter so well written, particularly considering the purpose of the letter.

I post it because of the craft with which it is written.

The man has captured the essence of the problem.

Howard Hart, former CIA station chief in Islmabad, made much the same case in a talk at UVa's Miller Center yesterday (with former secretary of state Lawrence Eagleburger at his side and agreeing with him).

In another bit of fun, the Miller Center (which I work with) just landed the official oral history project for the George W. Bush administration. This should be a load of laughs.

That is a very well-written letter indeed. And it's a letter that has been written, one way or another for hundreds of years, not to mention in the recent decade.

It reminded me of my all expense paid trip to the Pearl of the Orient in 1965-66.

I couldn't have put my reaction to the Viet Nam war any better. The names change but the gullibility of the "True Believer" does not.

That letter should be on the front page of every newspaper in the USA, right under the photo VM posted.
