COMMENTS:
As previously mentioned, governments are not inclined to tell the whole truth to citizens during major disasters and emergencies. China’s orders are, I believe, prudent under the circumstances. Japan continues to downplay the seriousness of the situation while the news gets worse by the hour. The U.S. military is having a difficult time trying to render assistance due to the apparent dangers of radiation. It would be interesting to find out what direction the radiation is heading toward after it leaves Japan, but that information does not seem to be forthcoming. TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. With all of the worries facing the nation and the world right now, like in Japan and Libya, why is our President out playing golf? (Sandy ~ Santa Clara, CA) A. Everyone had their own priorities in life.
Q. Is the United States giving up on Libya, and if so, why? (Carla ~ Tucson, AZ)
A. It would seem that way. One of the unknowns is who would take over if Ghadafi is gone; it could get worse. There is a large and looming possibility that radical Islam stands ready to fill any void in leadership anywhere in that part of the world. We are also stretched very thin from a military and financial standpoint. Moving a U.S. warship into the area is probably more for show than anything else. I think we’re going to concentrate on trying to prevent Egypt from falling into radical Islamic rule. Just as a side thought, isn’t Ghadafi one of the multitudes of foreign leaders that Obama bowed to after he first took office?
Q. I see that boxing great Ali is asking Iran to free our hostages. Do you think that will work? (Izzy ~ Detroit, MI)
A. It’s a great gesture and I hope it does work, but I have my doubts. We need to send Mike Tyson over there to chew their ears off.
