Don’t fall for war ploy to divert our attention

Dear Editor, Most of us old-timers remember a psycho-haircut with a little black moustache from the 1930s and 1940s. He seemed comical and not much of a threat. Wow, were we wrong.

Now we have two psychohaircuts about to face off on center ice, to use a hockey term. The puck is now an atomic bomb, where in the 1930s and 1940s it was only dynamite.

One psycho-haircut is only a kid. He’s the sone of a former leader — arrogant, joyless, hotheaded and vain, with nothing to lose.

The other is an old man. He’s the son of a millionaire — arrogant, joyless, hot-headed and vain, with nothing to lose.

Both haircuts are basking in undeserved power and are tattling sabers, itching to so something with that power.

We also remember an inept president with a vice-president under investigation for insider training. The vice president needed a distraction to avoid going to jail so he invented a war with an innocent country, and sold it to the inept president. Gullible Congress bought the idea and so, we went to war. That was less a war than a war crime. It cost many tax dollars and many innocent lives, but it got the heat off the heinous vice president.

Our own psycho-haircut is now under investigation for insider trading with Russia, also known as treason, and Gullible Congress again buy the idea that we need another war.

May I be the first to suggest that we don’t need another war and that we put our own psycho-haircut in handcuffs until he finishes his term. Tim Haley Tivol, N.Y.
