Winston Churchill was blessed with the gift of foresight. He seemed to perceive the future well before others could grasp the present. He served mankind well, not just the Brits. Had FDR his vision the Cold War, Korean War, Viet Nam War and the Communist conquest of China and Eastern European countries might never have occurred.

If ever you have an opportunity to speak with President Bush again, wish him well for me. I am often a critic of his, but not because I want him to fail. Quite the opposite. I want him to succeed because our nation will succeed with him. If possible, suggest he listen to religious scholars that have studied all religions objectively for an overview of how Islam regards the role of government. He has done well to depart from his comparison of Islam to Fascism and grasp its totalitarian nature among extremists, but must still come to terms it is not among extremists alone, but the nature of the religion itself.

The book "A Patriot's History of the United States" on your about page intrigues me. I'll have to read it. I'd like to read how it depicts the internment of American citizens of Japanese decent during WWII. That chapter of our history has been painted with a very broad brush as being a darkest moment, and in some aspects rightfully so. Nonetheless I believe it was both necessary and prudent in those times as Japanese secret societies, most notably the Black Dragons were quite active within the states, represented a major domestic threat, could not be differentiated among the Japanese-American population by sight only, and required a stopgap approach of address so the war could be fought abroad, not at home and abroad. It's shameful the internment camps have been compared to the concentration and extermination camps of the Axis Powers. The only common thread they shared was confinement.
