Your voice is heard; A Letter from the Pres.
There have been times when Americans who wanted to do the right thing had to go to Canada, Britain or other places to do the right thing while their own government took a long time to commit. I'm talking about WWI and WWII.
When America went to war against Iraq, they were doing the right thing. Fucked up intelligence or no (common to all wars), the man was a murdering despot that had to go. Mebbe we weren't in a position to remove Stalin, Pol Pot or the others, but this guy had burned his bridges and was there.
Canada, balked, so I promptly went down to an American recruiter and enlisted to do my bit just as Americans went North before me. Lengthening story shortened, I was unable to serve due to dishonest recruiters and restrictive policies. I wrote the President about it.
Today, I got an autographed photo and a letter from the President. Thought I'd share it with you guys... it's nice to know you can be heard.
I'm sure he didn't write it himself... but *someone* over there read what I wrote and I feel reassured about that.
PS: Any typo's are mine.
