America is becoming more vulnerable
Re: “Activists send new boat to challenge Gaza Blockade,” June 1
Memorial Day was marked by an oil disaster, an act of war, and increased tensions in the Middle East. All Americans ought to be deeply concerned about the uncontrolled BP oil leak in the Gulf, the provocative naval attack by North Korea, and the Hamas (Iranian)-backed conflict with Israeli troops.
Coupled with a world economic crisis, increasing anxiety, tension and violence around the globe, restrictions on our domestic energy resources, and our military forces thinned by the conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan and the war against terrorism, America is becoming more vulnerable by the day.
What if the instabilities and provocations turn into an all-out attack against Israel by Iran & Company, or against South Korea by North Korea? How will the United States react? And what if al Qaeda steps up its attacks on America?
President Obama’s weak stance on the U.S. response to attacks using weapons of mass destruction is certainly not reassuring.
