FAILURE TO ACT CAN BE UNFORGIVABLE

I FIND IT difficult to believe that Paxton Davis and many of his liberal cohorts could possibly watch CNN and hear detailed the many atrocities in Kuwait and still conclude that we as a nation were involved in a war that really was none of our business. There were isolationists who felt the same prior to World War II, and fortunately President Roosevelt found a way to get us into that war.

While we cannot become involved in every injustice in this world, some are so horrible, as in the case of Hitler or a man like Saddam, that failure to act would be an unforgivable injustice. I am proud that we did the right thing and stood up against the cruelest tyrant to come along since Hitler and Stalin. I am extremely proud of our leaders and our men and women who all served in an exemplary manner and got the job done. RAYMOND D. CAMPER JR. ROANOKE
