"JFK and Dutch Had The RIGHT IDEA!"

I really like boxing. I remember watching Sugar Ray Robinson on "Gillette Friday Night Fights" with my Dad. Dad said Ray Robinson was the best fighter he had ever seen; he had speed, balance and could knock you out with either hand. He held welter-weight and middle-weight titles. Anyone who got in the ring with Sugar Ray knew they were in for a fight. Ray believed in strength and ring general-ship; always be ready; never let your opponent get the upper hand; make him fight your fight. In a boxing ring, weakness or perceived weakness never works to your advantage. Weakness gives your foe a chance to move you and intimidate you; a good fighter never wants to be put in that position.

Jack Kennedy was put in the position of a challenge by the Soviet Union during the Cuban Missile Crisis. JFK chose to deal through strength. He used the might of the United States Military by putting a blockade around Cuba and telling the Soviets any attempt on any nation in our hemisphere would be treated as an attack by the Soviet Union on the United States, and a full retaliatory response would be made. Peace through strength! Reagan simply put the Soviet Union out of business; he told Gorbachev we would not be beaten, and then proceeded to grow the American military and our missile defense systems. The Soviet Union folded like a cheap deck chair! Peace through strength! A show of military power is all a totalitarian regime understands. Terrorists are no different than dictators; they don't respect weakness!

The Middle-East is now an inferno; governments are falling like dominoes; radical groups are sabre rattling, fanatics are having a field day and the United States is sitting on her hands, clicking her tongue and pointing her fingers at those without any real decisive policy of strength. We have a man in our White House who is afraid to make a real decision for fear of being chastised by the rest of the world. I believe Mr. Obama was never ready to be the President, and his action during the current crisis is proof of his inability to command during times of crisis, both foreign and domestic!

We are now facing times which are more stressful than any other in our history; the last thing we need is a weak man in leadership. I thought Jimmy Carter was weak, but he is "Hercules" next to Barack Obama. We should have our ships sitting outside the Suez Canal, and off the coast of Korea, and they should all be on full alert status. Mr. Obama has allowed this situation to get completely out of hand and is being manipulated by his opponents. JFK and Ronald Reagan would have never been caught like this; they would never have allowed America to drop its guard. We now deal from weakness; this is not the American way! We are now going to pay the price for inexperience and weakness! I don't think any more "apology speeches" or "yes we can" slogans will help. Mr. Obama needs a quick course in "cajones"! PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH WORKS!
