Advice to the President: say nothing
By Ken Weisbrode
This is why Obama should stay silent
during his upcoming visit to Hiroshima. The White House has already said
he will not apologize for the terrible bombs his predecessor, Harry
Truman, chose to drop there and at Nagasaki. What else can he say
besides urging the world never to contemplate doing what his country,
with justification, twice did? Obama’s eloquence notwithstanding, that
line probably wouldn’t go over well.http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/foreign-policy/279384-advice-to-the-president-say-nothing
Barack Obama
is known most of all as a man of words. He is the author of two
bestselling books and a meticulous, and sometimes inspiring, orator. His
policies, if not always persuasive to a majority of Americans, have the
benefit, according to their supporters, at least, of being on “the
right side of history.”
