An Open Letter to President Obama II

An Open Letter to President Obama, re: Terrorism (Part II)

Dear Mr. President:

I trust you had the opportunity to read Part I of my letter which detailed some of my concerns over your administration’s handling of what President Bush termed the War on Terror: http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1219.

I’m aware you don’t take kindly to either the word “war” or the word “terror” but that doesn’t make war and terror any less a reality.

We are, regrettably, engaged in that undeclared, worldwide war and have been so engaged for decades. September 11th, 2001 was merely the day it arrived in all its sickening glory on our shores but it dates back, at least, to 1972.

Should you have any doubts as to the worldwide nature of the Islamic threat, for your edification, here is a list of previous “battles:”



• 1972 The massacre of Israeli Olympic athletes–Germany

• 1974 The bombing of TWA Flight 841–over the Ionian Sea

• 1977 Subway bombing–U.S.S.R.

• 1981 Assassination of Anwar Sadat–Egypt

• 1983 Bombing of the American Embassy–Lebanon

• 1983 Bombing of Gulf Air Flight 771–United Arab Emirates

• 1983 Bombing of our Marine Barracks–Lebanon . . .
