I hope no one, inside or outside Washington, listens to you.
Such an attitude is reminiscent of American arrogance and
callousness evident in such actions as our deliberate slaugher
of women and children at My Lai and our other attacks on "little
brown people" around the world.
You may be angry. Lots of people are. Belligerence, however, is
and always has been foreign policy, whether in the Nixon
administration or now, and it is even more so in times of crisis
such as these.

Nicholas Dronen
