Letter: Do we want to celebrate domestic terrorism?

Posted

Military recruits take an oath to protect the U.S. from enemies both foreign and domestic. The South was attacking the U.S. during the Civil War. What country puts up statues to honor terrorist groups and raises its flag to celebrate domestic terrorists?

Does Germany have statues of Hitler? Does it fly the flag with a swastika? Is there a Nazi Memorial Day? What heritage do we want to celebrate?

These are basic questions without regard to race, slavery, murder or unethical behavior.
