The world will be a more dangerous place if the 44th American president is the wife of the scandal-plagued 42nd president. Sheldon Filger's chilling book points out the ramifications if the American people vote unwisely in November 2008. Much is at stake, for the United States of America in particular and the world in general. America is trapped in a bloody and brutal quagmire in Iraq. Al-Qaeda's top leadership, including Osama bin Laden and Ayman Al-Zawahiri, remain at large, six years after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. The war on terrorism is being lost. Even the war in Afghanistan is not going well. The American economy is saturated with debt and a worsening trade balance. A growing number of Americans are disenchanted, alienated from their leaders, and loosing faith in the path being pursued by the American nation. At no time in recent history has America been confronted with so many vexatious challenges.
Selecting a flawed president who had been schooled by her husband Bill, himself a severely flawed president, is a recipe for permanent decline. It may be that a large part of American history will be held hostage to two families dominating the White House for potentially seven consecutive presidential terms, or 28 years. President George W. Bush's disastrous administration has already shown the American people the folly of selecting presidents based on family name rather than meritorious qualities and proven substance.
A man or woman who is an empty suit cannot possibly provide the leadership excellence that America is in such dire need of. Bill was absolutely an empty suit; expect no better from Hillary. |
