Young women have formed the word Paris with candles to mourn for the victims killed in Friday’s attacks in Paris, France, in front of the French Embassy in Berlin, Nov. 14. French President Francois Hollande said more than 120 people died Friday night in shootings at Paris cafes, suicide bombings near France’s national stadium and a hostage-taking slaughter inside a concert hall.

Re: “Eiffel Tower goes dark as France mourns 129 dead,” Nov. 14 news story.
War is most often the enemy itself and rarely the solution. However, the recent events in Paris suggest to me the seriousness of our situation and suggest that we (and our allies) should declare war and reimplement the draft. Letap all (around the world) come together and stop these crimes against humanity, And maybe end war altogether. Kumbaya.

This letter was published in the Nov. 17 edition.It is time for President Obama to finally act presidential and protect our country. In light of the horrible terror in Paris handed out by radical Islam, our borders must be closed to all “refugees.” Add to that, all of the tens of thousands already resettled on our land must be vetted and deported if necessary.
Do not intentionally bring evil to our borders.
