Carney: A riddle for your consideration

Let me offer you a riddle.


If, at the start of World War II, we had stayed home and minded our own business, stopped the continuous flow of war material to the Allies, it is not unreasonable to assume that Hitler would have defeated all of Europe including England and (God forbid) Ireland.


Now, think about the impossible logistics in front of him. Three thousand miles of water is in the way. And, as we used to tell the school yard bully, “What will I be doing while you're doing that?”


Is there any good reason why we try to be policemen and arms supplier to the world ?


And, if my conclusions are wrong, would we have a German garrison in Kelseyville?


AND THE ANSWER IS .......


Johnny Carney lives in Kelseyville.
