Walk the line? Yes but which one...
Few days ago I get a mail from a blogger named Snake Hunter. What was inside? Well considerations about Dems, Reps and war on Iraq. As Snake Hunter was a bit petulant (what a nice euphemism) I found necessary to explain to him my thoughts. I tried to revert his mail but it was impossible. I then post a comment on his blog but it was not accepted. So I have decided to publish that on my blog.
Dear Sir,
You sent me a mail after reading a post on my blog but my fanciful mail provider has listed your mail as spam. I should have said on my blog that I am not really interested in politics. I share the view of Harry Truman you quoted on your mail, for me politics is all but the realm of honesty and frankness.
I have great respect for what you have done in the past but being far away from the military community (which apart from my beliefs, my severe asthma has prevented me to join). But I am a bit fed up by an administration only focused on Iraq. Will I say I am not concerned by the war on terrorism? Of course not, I live in NY and was here during 9/11 attacks. Do I regret the old times when Saddam ruled Iraq? Not really I am not found with despots. But my concerns are: where are the WMD ? Where are the evidences of Saddam's links to 9/11 attacks? Is the real purpose freedom or oil supplies? Facing the cost of this war (I am not only talking of dollars) is it right to put it on top of the list while people are suffering in our country?
Yes it is true I am talking of something I am concerned with. You may find me a bit focused on Medicare. But I grew up with severe asthma. I have nether asked for that but I have to face it every day. It's painful, it's expensive. Sometimes while being short of breath I really think to myself: will I come through this crisis or will it be the last one. I know there are people with more threatening diseases but I feel being part of a community of people with severe or chronic diseases. I really think that being wealthy make a real difference in the way you live with it. And I think, being the son of the Nation n°1 in the world I should expect some care, as in a family when you take care of the weakest cause they are your blood.
I just wanted to explain to you my feelings, my thoughts, my intention as you may be my grandpa. One of mine was suffering also from severe asthma; I haven't spent much time with him as he died when I was young, after another crisis. I have always felt that I will have been really closed to him if I have had more time.
Take care,
