12/13/2006: "Regarding Ron Keeshan's Column: Soros Review"

Dear Editor:

When we slavishly characterize author Soros as a "Jew who escaped the Nazis", in light of current rhetoric from Hamas or Iran, can I now look forward to reading about "Jews who escaped the Muslims", sometime in the future? Can we not see the forest for the trees? Embassies, Olympic Teams, Barracks, World Trade Center, USS Cole, Hellooo?

Sorry, but in light of three decades of witnessing Muslim suicide bombings, Holocaust denial, and ad hoc saber-rattling, I see Soros' sadly strange perspective as a direct threat, even to what I've come to appreciate about my insignificant life, just as a US citizen here, as far away as the San Juan Islands. And I'm not even Jewish! What'll it take to wake us up this time around?
