“If there is righteousness in the heart,

There will be beauty in the character.

If there is beauty in the character,

There will be love in the home.

If there is love in the home,

There will be order in the nation.

If there is order in the nation,

There will be peace in the world.”

The message of the holidays

is one of peace and good will.

Together we pray,

“Let there be peace on earth,

and let it begin with me.”

Editor’s Corner

When I was a young boy, my fa-ther would tell me every so often:“If it weren’t for Fidel Castro, youwouldn’t have been born.”As a 5 or 6-year-old, I had no

idea what he was talking about or who the heck FidelCastro was, but one thing was for sure, I was happy tobe alive.After hearing last Wednesday that the United States

was going to restore full relations with Cuba, the firstthing I thought of was my father and his line aboutCastro.My father was born near the border on the Russian

border with Poland in 1921. Shortly after the Germansinvaded Poland in September 1939, he was arrested bythe Russians for being a Polish “spy” and was sen-tenced to seven years in a Siberian labor camp.After the Germans tried to invade Russia, my father

was ordered to fight with the Red Army and survivedthe war suffering only a couple of shrapnel wounds inhis hand and leg.Following the war, he moved to France and then set

his sights on coming to the United States. But, he wasunable to get in and had to settle on emigrating toCuba instead.One of the first things he did after arriving in Cuba

was to contact the American Embassy to start his pathto residency and citizenship. He was told that theywould get back to him.My father settled into the Cuban lifestyle, opened a

business for himself and moved several times over thenext few years as he moved up the economic ladder.After about a dozen years after my father arrived in

Cuba, Fidel Castro assumed power.While he was still able to do so, my father made a

couple trips to the United States on a tourist visa inthe first year of the Castro regime to open a bank ac-count in New York, knowing that he had to leaveCuba.He went back to the American Embassy only to

learn that his number came up years ago, but becausehe had moved several times, they couldn’t contacthim. Thus, he had to go to the back of the line.After the Untied States cut ties with Cuba in 1961,

things went from bad to worse under Castro. My fa-ther was subjected to the same intimidation tactics bythe Communists that he had experienced in Russia andhe knew his time to get off the island was running out.In July 1962, he was able to obtain a tourist visa to

Jamaica, knowing full well he was leaving Cuba forgood.I’m not sure how he did it, but after arriving in Ja-

maica, he applied for political asylum at the AmericanEmbassy and met my mother, all within two weeks ofarriving.By late October they were married, and days later

were living in Miami.My father told me that after he established himself

in Cuba in the 1950s, he figured the sun and sand ofHavana was too good to leave behind and figuredthere were worse places to live, especially after havingsurvived those brutal Siberian winters.So, as Paul Harvey used to say, “Now you know the

rest of the story.”I wish you all a joyous Christmas and holiday sea-

son and until next week, may the good news be yours.

Fewer polarizing opinion pieces would be welcomedTo the Editor:After reading John

Hendler’s latest diatribe in-dicting (yet again) the cur-rent administration for itshandling of various events,why do I get the sense thatif even a local bake salewasn’t a success it somehowwould end up being Presi-dent Obama’s fault?

The ad-visor&chronicleeditorial from Dec. 12 in-vokes the journalistic princi-ples of ‘balance’ and ‘hon-esty,’ and yet I find yourweekly editorials far frommoderate. The presidentmight have a penchant forsuch rhetorical phrases as‘that’s not who we are asAmericans,’ but it seems

petty to fault him for tryingto invoke, as Lincoln fa-mously said, ‘the better an-gels of our nature’ when itcomes to helping the poor,protecting the environmentor torturing suspected ter-rorists.I’d welcome fewer polar-

izing opinion pieces, alongwith a more balanced ap-

proach to exploring suchcomplex and nuanced is-sues. Except now that Ithink about it, perhaps‘that’s not who we are asAmericans.’

Matthew Samra,Marshall

Americans ponder - when is torture justified?

To the Editor:During the Christmas

season in 1959, I was a 10year old riding in the backseat of my parent’s car. Iwill never forget thatChristmas. As we were dri-ving through the busystreets of Columbus, Ohio,I suddenly spotted a bigadvertising billboard thatsimply read in giant letters:“MERRY XMAS.” Inmuch smaller letters under-neath it read, “Don’t crossChrist out of CHRISTmas.”The change in me caused

by that one moment wasprofound. I asked my par-ents and pastor many ques-tions about the use of“Xmas,” but there always

seemed to only be one an-swer: “Oh, it’s just an ab-breviation.”A Catholic priest did ex-

plain that the Greek alpha-bet the letter “X” is “Chi”and stands for the first let-ter in Christ. That doessomewhat explain things,but I also believe that mostpeople are no so familiarwith the Greek alphabet.When most people see an“X,” it simply means some-thing is crossed out.I have become more

convinced over the yearsthat it is the evil in ourworld that wants to shifteveryone’s focus from thetrue meaning of Christmasto what it has become for

many people and sadlyenough, for many Chris-tians. Satan is quite cleverand subtle.Even at the age of 10, I

became aware that thiswonderful holiday was be-coming bright lights, tackySantas at the mall and ahighly pitched advertisingcampaign by every store onthe planet to make us allfeel somewhat inadequateif we didn’t buy a lavishgift for everyone we everknew or met.Over the years, I have

done my small part. Christ-mas cards were signed,“Merry Christmas.” I toldmy two children myChristmas story and signs

of “Merry Xmas” alwayshad “Don’t cross Christ outof Christmas” added tothem.On holiday season, I

drove by a lot that adver-tised they were selling“Xmas” tree. I drove intothe lot and told the man myChristmas story and ex-plained that I only buyChristmas trees. The fol-lowing year the sign waschanged. I drove into thelot and the man greeted mewith a big smile. He re-membered me, and Ibought one of hisCHRISTmas trees.

By FRED JACOBSJ-Ad Graphics CEO

If you watched TV overthe weekend, you may havenoticed that most newsshows’ discussion centeredon the Senate IntelligenceCommittee’s bombshell re-port on the CIA’s interroga-tion program. The reportdealt with the torture used onterrorists in United Statescustody following the Sept.11 attacks and others beingplanned and whether that tor-ture was justified.According to the Senate

committee’s report, these ter-rorists were subjected towhat the CIA called “en-hanced interrogation tech-niques,” which included wa-ter-boarding, rectal feeding,prolonged sleep deprivationand being shackled instressed positions for days at

a time. I understand and havepersonally accepted thepremise that the UnitedStates government didn’tsupport these types of torturetechniques. Many of the in-terrogation tactics and captiv-ity protocols that our militaryleaders avoided in the pastare acknowledged worldwidein treaties that have been inplace for years, such as theGeneva Convention.However, when govern-

ment officials felt compelledto make public the sensitivedocuments outlining the CIAtactics used to gain informa-tion from these terrorists fol-lowing the worst attack everon America, controversyerupted. Most Americansdon’t even understand theseinterrogation tactics nor canthey relate to the extremepressure of that time to deter-mine if future threats to our

country were in the making.Releasing the report now car-ries implications of problemsin our intelligence commu-nity for years.Has partisan politics be-

come so bad that today’spoliticians now question thedecisions of former officialsin the wake of the worst at-tack ever perpetrated on ournation? Has intelligent dis-course deteriorated so muchthat, today, more than 10years later, we question thejudgment of officials whosesole purpose with known ter-rorists was to safeguard thecountry from another attack?What would these political

hacks say to the husbandsand wives, sons and daugh-ters who lost their lives afterthe World Trade Center washit by two airplanes pilotedby a band of terrorists com-mitted to do harm to our na-

tion?And how about the pas-

sengers on United AirlinesFlight 93 that crashed inPennsylvania, short of its al-leged target, the CapitolBuilding in Washington,D.C. Would the 38 passen-gers, five flight attendants,and two pilots who were hi-jacked worry about the tac-tics used on terrorists if theycould avert another nationaltragedy? I don’t think so.Even the Pentagon, the ad-

ministrative command centerof the U.S. Military complex,became a target for these rad-ical maniacs who comman-deered American AirlinesFlight 77 with 64 people onboard and hit the largest of-fice building in the world,killing another 125.
