Letter: Doing our part, and then some

Thursday, Jan. 17, 2002 | 8:44 a.m.

In reference to the recent comment by John Sununu: "If Nevada is not willing to do its part in what is part of a national plan for homeland security -- maybe Americans ought to vacation somewhere else."

He has a good point. However, he is looking at it from the wrong perspective -- but I'm sure money is blocking his view.

Hasn't Nevada already done its part? More so than any other state in the Union? After all, what state gave more to shorten not only a cold war but also a couple of hot wars?

If there is any question of this, just count the pockmarks! So, based on his own criteria, more people should vacation here than anywhere else.

He was a disappointment when he had a high-profile government job, but he is repugnant now.
