Mr. Tellis emailed the following observations:
Mr. Brewton
You have taken the same route as Adolf Hitler in your arguments against Russia. How you the people of America bamboozled into believing that the Russians were the aggressors when the whole world knew that Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili ordered the attack on the Republic of South Ossetia on August 8, 2008. Even that attack was advised by U.S. President George W. Bush.
Stop trying to be upholders of the U.N. when your country openly violated the U.N. Charter, the Vienna Convention and the Geneva Conventions, and pretended that you had proof positive that Iraq President Saddam Hussein had Weapons of Mass Destruction, which turned out to be a fabrication a la Bush. But you have avoided to mention the fact of U.S. and NATO carried out wanton destruction on the sovereign Republic of Serbia. The bombing of trains, apartment buildings, buses, radio and TV stations, and churches by NATO planes makes Adolf Hitler look look an angel. Where are the values you Americans are always spouting about? You never practiced the values of 1776 and you still do not practice them now. Please put away that pen, research, then pen it down on paper and not keep quoting that maniac George W. Bush because HE is an AMERICAN, but he is also disgrace to those Americans of 1776. Stand for the truth, not for cheap propaganda as is now being put out by the U.S. News Media in collusion with the Bush regime.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but someone has to sink your ship of lies, if I was not there then someone else would have had to do it.
The Russians may not always be right, but this time there is no question that they are right in defending the people of the Republic of South Ossetia.
Sincerely,
K.T. Tellis
I wonder if Mr. Tellis has any concrete understanding of what he terms “the values of 1776?” Which ones have we never practiced and do not practice today?
It has always been my understanding that the American colonists, very reluctantly, went to war to gain independence from arbitrary and oppressive British taxation and regulation. Were there concurrently values in 1776 prescribing indifference to aggression?
Mr. Tellis’s view is what is taught to young students in far too many of our colleges and universities, which explains the heavy student support for Senator Obama. Senator Obama himself is a product of that liberal-progressive-socialistic slant.
One result is moral relativism, which colored Senator Obama’s first public statement about Russia’s invasion of Georgia. He depicted both sides as equally at fault, refusing to see evil as such and failing to recognize the threat to the national interests of the United States in the entire Middle East and eastern Europe.
