Dear Jon:

Forgive me for not being able to navigate your site to send a message. I had to resort to the old-fashioned way to communicate, by writing a letter.

Jon, I watched the show where Condolezza Rice was your guest. It is nothing less than stunning to see how delusional she remains.

I am reading Noam Chompsky’s “Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance  (The American Empire Project).” Chompsky describes how countries around the world fear America and views her as a threat to world peace. We have a reputation as an arrogant, world bully, to be feared because of the arsenal that is America. Not very flattering, is it?

Chompsky’s view of America offers a plausible explanation of why we’re picked on and why we are despised around the world.

May I suggest that you and Rice read Chompsky. It is extremely enlightening as to how America is viewed worldwide.

Sincerely,
Dot Calm

p.s. Love the show!
