Mr. Tucker's essay is an interesting, thought-provoking piece. It reads well and one finds no serious disagreement until one comes to the language suggesting that letting the Muslim world know that America casts a "nuclear umbrella" over Israel so as to save that nation. That thesis fails for two reasons. America's left has demonstrated to the world countless times that submission rather than conflict is the preferred solution. They caused a genocide in Southeast Asia and are about to unleash a similar holocaust in Iraq by a precipitous surrender there. The majority Muslims will kill the minority and they both will kill Kurds who in turn, etc., etc.

So a nuclear umbrella is good only as long as rightists are in power and we know the cowards that comprise the present day American population will vote them out and the leftists in at the first sign of any difficulty. The nuclear threat is immediately removed and we begin negotiations of what part of Israel must be surrendered to the Arabs. Democrats see Jews as donors and nothing else. So the "nuclear umbrella" is an oxymoron under any circumstances. Then to be complete, let us look at the Muslim side of the coin. These people truly believe they will get 72 virgins (always assuming there are that many left somewhere in the world) if they die murdering innocents in the name of Allah. So why wouldn't the fanatic, ignorant men that lead these countries see an nuclear exchange as a consummation devoutly to be wished?

p>If we follow Mr. Tucker's plan, the people of Israel might want to begin leaving that poor beleaguered nation in droves first thing tomorrow. br> -- Jay W. Molyneaux br> Wellington, Florida /p> p> WARREN PIECE br> Re: Jay D. Homnick's Pastor Primavera :
