Dear Mr President:
Even as you keep your brave demeanor and tough approach to the current World situation, we surmise that in private moments you surely agonize over the weighty decisions that you soon will be called upon to make.
Our prayers are with you, and our support as well. We know that you will do the right thing, as you see it in your heart. You are a good man.
War is ugliness incarnate, and it is always to be avoided when possible. The day it becomes an attractive option, we fear, then we all are doomed.
But, to every season we must turn. Action now may be the only way to avoid a worse scenario down the road. That decision falls to you and the Congress. It is part of the job description. You must have known that when you signed on.
We don't envy you your task, but we will support you and our fine men and women in the military, as the future unfolds. Support in every way.
Of course, you will take a lot of criticism, no matter what you do. Stand strong. Your strength is our strength. As a nation, that is the way it must be.
God and history will judge us all, eventually.
We don't know what help a small publication like ours can offer to the leader of the Free World, but we are in your corner, as you are in ours.
Best regards,
RG Griffing,
Editor/Publisher San Antonio Lightning
PS: Our heroes have always been Cowboys
Mine, too, Mr. Griffing!
Thanks for a beautiful letter.
I don't know what help my small web publication can offer the leader of the Free World either, but I'm in your corner, also.
God Bless President Bush.
