Missing the point

To Franklin Keiper: Your letter on Monday, March 9, 2009, “Thanks to ‘kaboom,’” may have missed the point of the writer of “Andersen’s take on federalization.”
The letter implies that over the last 60 years, America has been using kaboom diplomacy to bomb rogue countries until it secures total submission and that the dire consequence of kaboom diplomacy is the emergence of suicide bombers among Muslim countries who have organized against the West. Read the past histories of war against rogue countries. The point is the federal government’s intrusion into one’s sovereign right, resulting in the lawsuit against federalization. The CNMI rights under Covenant agreement is not under the federal policy of “don’t watch what we do; listen to what we tell you to do.”
Since you claim that the good brothers in the Muslim countries did not organize recently against the West, then what was 9/11 to you? Was it accomplished for the purpose of securing 72 virgins per terrorist? If that’s the case, then this will put a serious demand on the virgin production capacities of paradise.
There is no such term as “their Bible, the Koran.” The Bible belongs to Christians and Koran belongs to Muslims. If Muslims were told in the mid-1500s to go out and kill infidels, aren’t the infidels today the west?
The Muslims on Saipan never tasted freedom until they arrived here and they are constantly in the media expressing their own opinions. Imagine if I was in their country, exercising the same right. I’d be hung just like Saddam.
Don’t ask or force anyone to kneel down in submission to give thanks.
