Recent Letter to the Editor:
Well, Professor Sandy is at it again (Enduring War – Laconia Sun of July 22) and as usual his
comments are at best highly superficial, because all the wars since 1950 have been UN wars. All of those wars, big and little alike, have been with and under the approval of the UN.
None of the many big and little wars we have fought since 1950 have been “US wars”, in part because at no time has the US Congress ‘declared war” against any other group or nation. All of the approvals of our going to war have been in violation of our Constitution and all of the basic approvals have come from the UN. Our armed forces won the battles in those many wars only to have the UN give away our winning, of what we thought we were fighting for, at the peace table.
If Professor Sandy would wish to get us out of this nightmare of endless war, then his first step will have to be to “Get the US Out of the UN” and to “Get the UN Out of the US”.
Professors Sandy’s second step would have to be to require all Members of Congress to comply with their Oaths of Office.
Then and only then will “peace” be possible.
Sincerely
Bob Kingsbury
