 A Letter from Jo Ann Davis
Unbridled by specifics, Davis begins her letter by indicating that throughout modern history America has fought wars “to liberate the world.”  What Davis’s “world” consists of is hard to say, though obviously she’s referring to the liberation of Chile, where we ousted a duly elected, albeit socialist, president named Allende.
One would normally think of this as George W. Bush’s “watch,” but Davis once again assures us that she is in league with the highest echelons of government and that she’s standing right next to the president on this issue.
However, and here is where Davis really reaches the climax of her argument,  we “know” that Saddam has nuclear weapons and he’s ready to “use these nuclear weapons against the world.” This, you see, fits in nicely with the preceding argument that the world, including the United Nations, is not at risk.
