The recent presidential campaign saw a plethora of open letters directed at
Donald Trump,
at
least two of which were authored and signed by neoconservative foreign policy
“experts” denouncing him for challenging their most cherished notions.
Now it’s my turn to write an open letter, albeit coming from the opposite direction.
Dear President Trump:
Unlike what you might expect from a writer for a web site like Antiwar.com,
I’ve given you a pretty fair shake. I have to admit that, at first, I just didn’t
get it, but I’m honest enough to admit when I’m wrong. As you began to lay out
your platform,
I took
notice – and, in the face of a lot of skepticism from my readers and even
from some of my colleagues, I started to
cheer
you on. Not that I cheered every pronouncement – but when you started criticizing
the conduct of American foreign policy under the Bush administration, and not
just the Obama regime, I was quite impressed.
The turning point, for me, was when you got up at that South Carolina GOP presidential
debate
and
said:
“I want to tell you. They lied. They said
there were weapons of mass destruction, there were none. And they knew there
were none. There were no weapons of mass destruction.”
