Out of the deep, deep blue
In the Hamptons, where the Bill Clinton and Barbara Streisand are regarded as deity, it's not often - especially from June through September - that umambiguous pro-American ideas can pierce the venom of unthinking, reflexive W-o-phobia, not to mention the Zoloft-made haze. Despite this, Jerry Della Femina of The Independent, an East End Long Island staple, has written a clear-headed piece on the challenge - the war - America faces, and the cost of losing. He begins by excerpting a speech by Dr. Vernon Chong, Major General, USAF Retired: "Our country is now facing the most serious threat to its existence, as we know it, that we have faced in your lifetime and mine (which includes WWII)," he begins. "The deadly seriousness is greatly compounded by the fact that there are very few of us who think we can possibly lose this war and even fewer who realize what losing really means."
