Even the hard lefties know Weasely is a loon. They are not too interested in someone who is ready to start WWIII out of plain stupidity

My old friend in France sent me a brief note on Sept 11:

"A black day for you. I think of you, Valérie.

your old pen friend, Jean"

I wrote a reply in the wee hours this morning:

Dear Jean

Thank you for the thoughts on that day of remembrance.

"No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me, because I am included in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." ~ John Donne 1572-1631 ~ Poet/Clergyman

I thought of you and your France when I heard the news about the great loss of life during the summer heat wave. It is said to be 15,000 souls, which is 5 times the loss in America during the attacks of September 11, 1991.

Then I heard that the foreign minister of Sweden was chased, attacked and stabbed to death in a department store while bystanders looked on in shock, and did not move to protect her or capture the assailant, who ran out of the
store.

I wonder what is the great danger lurking in this world? The forces of evil conspiracies, the power of natural phenomenon, insane murderers? ...... Or the millions of disbelieving bystanders who wait for an "official" to do something.

In the midst or mourning, may the world also honor the handful of passengers flying over Pennsylvania, who refused to be bystanders while their plane was hijacked -- who did not wait for officials to handle the shocking crime, but
were aware of the implications of their situation and made the bold decision to live or die not as victims, but as protectors of their fellow man and beloved nation.
