Response to "A Fight for Freedom of Speech"

This was written to the editor of the LA Times and I thought you would like to see this response.

Dear Editor:

This is in response to A Fight for Freedom of Speech
Dissent doesn't mean a lack of patriotism
by Eric Foner and Glenda Gilmore
Los Angeles Times
December 27, 2002

If these two writers are professors
then the US is in deep trouble. If the
United States took steps during the
Clinton Administration to take
pre-emptive strikes rather than wait
until 3000 people were killed on September
11 then the United States would not
be in such a mess at this time. Wars are not
great but sometimes they are needed to
prevent disasterous results. Israel would be
off the map if it adhered to the same
policies that are being stated by the
two writers. Comparing what the US
is doing now to what Japan did is complete
lunacy.

Sincerely,
Eric Kammer
