Dear U. S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard,
I just watched Chris Matthew interviewing you, around 6:30-6:45 pm tonight, Monday March 7th, on MSNBC, and you made the rest of my evening! Congratulations, and thank you!
Your response in supporting Senator Sanders' Presidential bid, and your critic of his opponent, former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton's hawkish policies of regime change was perfect.
You rightly pointed to Sec. Clinton's disastrous wrong judgements in supporting the Iraq invasion, but most importantly in supporting the military occupation of that country. Toppling a criminal like Saddam Hussein is one thing, but occupying Iraq and humiliating its people is a different thing that resulted in creating the new monster called ISIS/ISIL/Daesh..
You rightly criticized the Secretary of State Clinton's policy of regime change in Libya, which resulted in a chaos and a heaven for Islamic militants, enabling those medieval sick minded terrorists to post on Youtube a horrendous ceremony of a serial beheading of Egyptian copts on the Lybia Mediterranean shores. You rightly criticized Clinton’s willingness to continue an aggressive warmongering policy in Syria. And you were able to marvelously articulate those tragic truths in a few short sentences.
As a member of the armed forces, you are well positioned to tell the truth on how such hawkish policies, wars, and warmongering propaganda, are devastating for people in the US, and in the world.
As a peace lover and peace researcher who also cares for our environment I needed to express my gratitude and appreciation for your positive stand with Bernie Sanders who also addresses climate change as a human priority.
I wish Senator Sanders all the best in succeeding to preside on the destiny of the people of the United States in making their life better, and I congratulate you again on your wisdom and your helping him, and on the perfect way you did articulate truths Americans very much need to know.
Dear U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard,
This isn't the first time I've seen you on TV and witnessed, with admiration, your wise positions and the way you admirably convey them to the public.
.
It is great to see officials who deeply care for ordinary people and for humanity, like President-to-be Sanders and yourself, working together; and I look forward and pray for your successes in this election and its aftermath.
I am a Senior Iranian-Canadian professor at York University, a former US Wisconsin resident (until last year) who then worked firmly and passionately for Barack Obama’s election and re-election.
I might later share with you a comment or two if I find it might be useful to Senator Sanders’ presidential campaign.
With much appreciation and affection,
Dr Shodja Eddin Ziaian
