AMERICA HAS PLENTY OF TERRORISTS RIGHT AT HOME

To the Editor:

Who needs foreign terrorists when we have our own right here?
Americans terrorize Americans every day. Declaring war on our own
country has been part of our history.

The Civil War was based on the same thing that drives all wars -
economics - but disguised by a worthy cause - abolition of slavery.
African Americans weren't afforded rights directly after they were
released from the shackles of slavery.

The war on drugs is another of many wastes of taxpayers' money. Gang
warfare ravages city streets. The war on crime is one we're sure to
win.

What about the man from Mississippi who shot his co-workers out of
race hatred?

Slavery was abolished nearly 150 years ago, and we haven't come that
far. Some of the people who hate the American people the most are
right outside our doors.
