From Denny: This leader just can't seem to get in tune with the agony of his own people at war. It's like God is calling: "Hello, do you get it yet, Mr. Brown? It's bad enough you are at war and then don't supply the soldiers properly to adequately defend themselves, then you add insult to injury by not writing condolence letters to the family until two years after a death. Do you understand yet this is an example of how not to write a condolence letter???"
Obviously, this sad situation of reopening old wounds is an exercise in humbling and humanizing an arrogant aloof leader and a lesson for the wronged to find their way to forgiveness. A tough holiday lesson for all concerned.
