Ditmore advocates solution to AGR’s
funding problems: ignore genocide

Editors, Asheville Global Report,

Since your April 17 editorial clearly acknowledged limited resources, I decided to share the statement below with you sooner. You need to conserve your very limited resources by ignoring the anti-choice Middle East and Islam as hopeless, even if they are completely annihilated, it is not worth your limited paper to write about it. Other issues are pressing and are being displaced.

By writing off the Middle East, you can condense your paper from 20 pages to 8, cut your time in half and perhaps go biweekly. More important and far more winnable issues are repeatedly falling by the wayside by your fixation with lost causes like Arabia. Get some priorities before the middle east drowns you too. You must retreat to defensible positions, it is just common sense, military, political, economic and temporal.
