Third, the is being driven to meet a deadline for honoring our debts that has been changed many times, and to meet the desire to accomplish something tangible in its first 100 days. These reasons are not sufficient to justify making and funding policies that will affect the lives of millions and will likely alienate a rising nation on our border. Fourth, as we learned the last time the Republicans voted for a shutdown, the federal (nonmilitary) government is made up of about 2 million people, and when they are not allowed to do their work, millions of other people are adversely affected.

The economy suffers along with our reputation as a nation. Tell Rep. Gallagher not to vote for bad deals. Estella Lauter Sarin attack in Syria President Donald press-secretary Sean Spicer was chastised for stating that even Adolf Hitler use chemical weapons against his opponents. This was in regard to Syrian president Bashar use of sarin against civilians, including women and children, based on U.S.

intelligence. Spicer soon had to apologize after Jewish- Americans groups complained, as Hitler had gassed millions of European Jews, innocent noncombatants, during the Second World War. Although Hitler had sarin (it was invented in Germany in 1938), he and his main henchman Heinrich Himmler used achemical agent known as Zyklon B. Years before the Nazis made use of it to kill the Jews en masse, Zyk- lon was in fact used as apesticide and rodenti- cide in the United States. However, Spicer is partially correct, as Hitler did not order the use of chemical weapons against the Allied soldiers in WWII.

But in World War Germany did use sulfur mustard gas against British, French, American, and Canadians fighting on the Western Front. The British may have used mustard gas first against the German military, nonetheless both sides used mustard gas toward the end of the world war. The to end all wars, according to president Woodrow Wilson. In a recent article in the New York Times, Riddle Of Why Hitler Use Sarin Gas Remains William J. Broad factually points out that Hitler gassed innocent civilians as does Assad, the Fuhrer never used gas as a against the Allies.

Broad presents several theories for this but does not mention in his article that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill is on record confiding to his inner military circle that Britain was seriously prepared to counter any chemical weapons Hitler might use with secret chemical weapons of its own. This information was conveyed to Berlin through neutral third parties. Perhaps if Spicer had explained himself more fully on this issue, he may not have had himself misunderstood. Incidentally, both my grandfathers fought in France in WWI and were mustard gassed, and even though the U.S. Army had provide our with gas masks, one of them suf- fered from the effects all of his life.
