WELLBORN (cont. from page 7) and the military might necessary to even launch the second world 
war. Today, in a similar vein, the West needs to accept that leadership in the Muslim world is seeking 
conflict, testing our will and abilities, and attempting to impose their undemocratic and theocratic vision 
of government on the rest of us. There are, of course, many in the Muslim world (80%) who want to live 
in peace, but absent a strong U.S. response and push back, they live in fear of retaliation from the radical 
20%. This is not a prescription for long term peace. 

 Western leaders must resign themselves to the reality that most of the other leaders in the world do 
not share our commitment to democracy and freedom. This is not to say that the majority of the world’s 
population wouldn’t want these things for themselves and their children. Remember most of the world’s 
citizens live under the boot of one oppressive government or the other. But we cannot confuse sharing 
common cause with the world’s citizens with sharing common cause with all the world’s leaders. We must 
stand firm in our commitment to western values of freedom and democracy, stop the tyrants from further 
gains, and work for the eventual liberation of all those who inhabit this world.

them, but has the extra challenge of getting 
rid of several generations of clothes, books, 
appliances, and junk. Like many people her 
age, she wrestles with the question of what 
to do with my late grandmother’s things. At 
first, it seemed best to have a storage company 
haul it all away until a more convenient time. 
Storage, however, has the hypnotic effect 
of making you forget about your baggage 
because it is out of sight and out of mind. But 
the monthly bill reminds you of the cost of 
your procrastination.

 Figuring that she paid nearly $2,000 a year 
to store Grandma’s things, Mom ordered 
two gargantuan pods shipped to the house. 
Visiting her reminded me of the ending scene 
in “Raiders of the Lost Ark” –so many boxes 
piled up to the ceiling. We joked about it 
until shrill beeping from the smoke detector 
distracted us. Several minutes after replacing 
the batteries atop a ladder, we realized that 
the noise was not coming from the house 
smoke detector, but from somewhere within 
the cardboard Matterhorn. My parents spent 
several hours that night rummaging through 
boxes until at last they discovered Grandma’s 
smoke detector beeping away like “The Tell 
Tale Heart.”

 Mom then had to decide if the contents 
of the boxes should be kept, offered to 
relatives or organizations, sold, or thrown 
out. Periodically she’d call to ask if I wanted 
her immersion blender, a coo-coo clock, or 
a crystal punch bowl with matching cups. 
I reminded her that my husband and I are 
not whizzes in the kitchen, and that it was 
unlikely we’d be doing any entertaining that 
would require punch service. 

 “What about the coo-coo clock?” she 
asked. I told her I thought we were all coo-
coo enough already.

 Inspired by the program, “Antiques 
Road Show,” we discovered another time-
consuming activity in looking for our 
collectibles online to see if they were actually 
hidden gems. Our smiling pixie figurines 
seemed to mock us when we realized that 
only two of their fellows sold on EBay for a 
total of $15. I tried to hunt down a Yoshinoya 
mug commemorating 30 years in America. 

 “Am I the only beef bowl fan out there?” I 
asked, exasperated. Abandoning the search, I 
priced my mug at three dollars. Well, there’s 
still much to be done so I must say goodbye 
for now. Unless, of course, I can interest you 
in a vintage coo-coo clock!
