The following is a disgusting remnant of our past that is actually a precursor of our future if we let the refuse infesting our Congress "win" their way.
Dear Excellency and friend,
I thank you very sincerely for your letter and for your offer to
transport me towards freedom. I cannot, alas, leave in such a cowardly fashion.
As for you and in particular for your great country, I never
believed for a moment that you would have this sentiment of abandoning a people
which has chosen liberty. You have refused us your protection and we can do
nothing about it. You leave us and it is my wish that you and your country will
find happiness under the sky.
But mark it well that, if I shall die here on the spot and in my
country that I love, it is too bad because we are all born and must die one day.
I have only committed the mistake of believing in you, the Americans.
Please accept, Excellency, my dear friend, my faithful and friendly
sentiments. Sirik Matak.
This is not the America I wish to live in. To turn our back on the people of the Middle East just so some moral reprobates can win elections to gain more power disgusts me so deeply I am at a loss to truly express it.
UPDATE: Sirik Matak was shot in the stomach days after this letter was written by the Khemer Rouge along with what was left of the free government of his country. Unfortunately Sirik Matak lived for another 3 years before he died. His compatriots died that day. All murdered by the Khemer Rouge. The killers were communists. They were also, just like Islamofascists, common thugs, murderers and slugs on the body politic.
