To: President Bush
Date: September 14th 2001
Dear Mr. President,
Some friends have implored me to copy you and our other
democratically elected representatives with an article I wrote back in October
of last year in which I referenced that we “ would simply have to wait for George W. to get into office to see if we
can “trust his
lips.” Within 24 hours of sending One Perspective to a select group, the
Financial Times of London appeared to pick up on a new Israeli strategy to
“Isolate the Palestinians.”
So what happened to
Israel’s resolve? Remember this was before the wave of suicide bombers. Surely,
one would have expected Israel to respond more forcefully after being dealt
such low blows? Certainly, it is important that we all unite and speak with one
voice but unless we get to the roots of what caused Israel to lose
it's teeth we will never truly eliminate rot.
We should not forget
that the smelly trail leads also to LitTOorals
in this country, supported unfortunately by many Jewish people who are mostly
ignorant of their complicity in bringing about the rubble in downtown New York.
Soon after I sent out
my One Perspective I began a series of emails aimed at folks who didn’t seem to
get it. Many implored me to “tone
things down.” On Election Day, their fixation on getting Lieberman in
office, the least vocal Jewish Democrat supporting the release of Jonathan
Pollard caused me ultimately to vote for you; replaying the telling phone calls
especially for my other friends who had yet to vote in Florida. Interesting,
wouldn’t you agree, that the Democrats would choose such a bedfellow to tow
their line? These liberals pleaded with me that Lieberman-Gore would do more
toward decriminalizing drug pushers, “the
real threat to our culture,” than focusing on systemic flaws within our
intelligence communities. [We now know that Hannsen and Aames would have
disappointed their “superiors” by not insisting that Pollard be isolated as the
evil incarnate.]
Although today you
may have the support of everyone including these “crazed” friends don’t expect
them to stick with you shoulder to shoulder through the tough times, for as one
of these “kingpins”
has already demonstrated, they lack the backbone even when seeing Armageddon up
close. Case in point: back in 1972 “King”, as we refer to him, stood alongside
Muskie as the Senator broke down crying. He thought of acting crazy by throwing
himself off the trailer into the crowd to distract the cameras thus saving the
rest of us from generations of Bushes. Instead he bit his tongue.
Go to it George W.
There remain still many of us Jewish people who trust you with your byte.
