Mom's Letters to Kevin

About the Book

WHAT IF – what would happen if ordinary citizens would cease to allow political pundits and accomplished journalists to frame and shape their opinions when they go to the polls to cast their votes?

What if just another ordinary citizen would come forth to show some new information that somehow got neglected by all the professional information conveyers preceding the past two Presidential Elections? Now that America is so deeply in debt to foreign countries, does it not matter that Americans were fore warned that such circumstances may occur in the future if the citizens didn't take the initiative, through their Representatives, to thoroughly scrutinize the reasons presented by their leader to enter a war against a nation that had posed no military threat to the U.S.A.?

These questions were dealt with in Mom's Letters To Kevin.

About the Author

Inspiration for writing the letters to Kevin came about as a result of a television news flash, which appeared in the early days of the year 2004. Up until that time, I had heard or read almost nothing about the Republican Administration's foreign policy expectations for the coming four years of their term in office. Within the news flash came information as released from former Cabinet Minister Paul O'Neil, and contained in this was the news that the main topic for discussion in the first meeting between President Bush and his newly-appointed Cabinet Members centered around the ominous threat, it would be necessary to find a way to depose Saddam Hussein form his leadership position in Iraq.

My first letter to Kevin included a referral to Mr. O'Neil's recollection of the discussion which had to have taken place during the early days of year 2000. Mr. O'Neil's recall of that early meeting appeared to validate a concept I had held for a long time - that being - the war in Iraq had been in the planning stages a long time before the events of 9-11-01 occurred. This event merely provided what the Republicans deemed to be a viable reason to start a war against Iraq.
