Dear Karl

just a thought...

Karl Rove
White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave
Washington, D.C.

Dear Mr. Rove,

I have observed your activities with no small degree of fascination for the past several years and, with apologies for the presumption, feel I know you reasonably well. Your intellectual capacity is formidable as is your ability to think in long-term scenarios and to match them with effective strategies. You are clearly a textbook example of a “driven” man, and while I could speculate on the source of those inner drivers, I won’t.

While I am sure you don’t need anyone to stoke your ego, I concluded some time ago that you are perhaps the most dangerous man in America. Everywhere I look, I see evidences of your handiwork even though you have been particularly careful to leave a plausible deniability distance of 3-4 people and an equal number of organizations in between. The man you serve, President Bush, is doubtlessly a smart man in his own right but I am also quite certain that, without you in the background, he wouldn’t have stood a chance of getting where he is today.

While this may sound grandiose and over-the-top, I see you as the personification of darkness. Anyone whose principal mission in life is to sow divisiveness and fear, Mr. Rove, is working to remove the light from this world. While there are many who might disagree with me on that assessment, I am firm.

My hope for you, especially in light of the current controversy regarding your comments made the other day in New York, is that you will take a moment to reflect on whether it is really darkness that you want to spread. You are in a unique position, perhaps the most powerful un-elected position in the history of the United States, to empower light rather than darkness. What a difference that would make in today’s world! Listen to your conscience. It will tell you what you need to do.

Best regards,
