The Denver Post just did an obit glorifying a "peace" activist...

So I sent the following to the obituary writer.

Dear ________ :

I never met Pat Hutchinson, but I have met hundreds of her exact
duplicates, all congratulating themselves on "heroically" protesting
against the foreign policy of a nation which will permit them to protest
unhindered if they do so peaceably, while never sticking their necks
out to go protest against a dictatorial regime whose rulers would arrest
or kill them.

Do you know who Vo Nguyen Giap is? He is the prominent North
Vietnamese general who has admitted in his memoirs that, contrary
to the lies of hard-leftwing journalists in America, the Communists
in the Vietnam War were being thoroughly crushed by the American
military, and would have given up if not for "heroic peace activists"
like Pat Hutchinson who set out to make America lose. The "peace"
movement in the West was the ONLY thing that enabled Hanoi to
conquer South Vietnam; and once the conquest happened, the
"peace" activists tried to make themselves not see that the direct
result of their work was MORE people dying in purges than all who
had died during the war.

I will give Mrs. Hutchinson the benefit of the doubt, and assume that
she did not set out consciously desiring to cause the massacres
performed by the victorious Communists in Vietnam, Cambodia and
Laos, nor the persecution of dissenters which continues in Vietnam
to this very day. But while gullible fools may not deserve condemnation,
they don't deserve admiration either.

Sincerely,
Joseph Ravitts
