Dear Mr. President,
Syria released deadly nerve agents on it's own people in
it's most recent chemical attack. This
is not the first time that they have done so. North Korea just launched another
missile into the Sea of Japan AND is known to be manufacturing chemical weapons
(used recently in the assassination of Kim Jong Nam). But you have said repeatedly that you are not
interested in global politics. It's
America first and America only for
you.
What you don't seem to understand is that the United States
of America already IS a global leader (whether you want it to be or not) and
global leadership is both messy and costly…it just is! It always has been. It also, occasionally, demands that we put
principles before politics.
I was happy to see that you removed Steve Bannon from the
National Security Council. Maybe you are
finally realizing that the world is a dangerous place and it will take more
brains and less bravado to keep everyone safe.
Sincerely,
Amy Beaton
