Subject: Helping Restore Communist Tyranny. June 19, 1999
Dear
Editor;
In
the mid 40's we saved the West half of Germany from Hitler and gave the East
half to the Russian communists to enslave.
In
the mid 50's we fought the Korean war and, after much blood shed, yielded the
north half to the communists to perpetuate the strife.
In
the mid 70's after the loss of 40,000 American men in Vietnam, we left the
north half to the communists to provide a stepping off point for communist
expansion.
In
the late 90's Russia supported our enemy, the Serbs, as they killed ethnic
Albanians in Kosovo. NATO decided to
wage a war. Russia opposed and did not
participate. The US primarily funded
the Kosovo War.
Now
Russia demands its troops be permitted to police the Serbs. The US and NATO give in.
What
makes the Russians think they have any right to occupy a foreign country?
Is
this post-war action of the Communists similar to what we have seen in other
war zones in previous times?
Are
we purposefully providing the Communists an additional out post for the
re-establishment of its Evil Communist empire in central Europe?
Is
the best interest of the US served by helping communism get reestablished?
Is
our state department stupid or what?
Taxpayers' should not stand for it.
Russian
troops have no business in central Europe.
Yours
truly,
Floyd
Coates
Chairman,
Taxpayers' Watchdog Committee
