4 Oxfam, hu To the editor, Each Thanksgiving season it's a common practice to pause to recount those things for which we are thankful. As we sit at the dinner table next week, we can be thankful for the freedom to choose. Our relative wealth will allow us to choose whether or not to eat in or dine out Most will be able to choose between a variety of sumptuous food options. FVir miiph nf fVio wrvrlH anrl a crmw ing number of Americans, however, there will be no choice. Nearly a billion members of the human family will be hungry on our Thanksgiving Day. They will have no dining options and many may have no food at all. With the freedom to choose that you and I enjoy comes responsibilityresponsibility to our impoverished sisters and brothers who have no choice.

A rv The writer draws an explicit, as ^ well as thoughtless and mistaken, par- caj allel between the behavior of the US ^ government in the 1940s and that of Nazi Germany during the Second World ^e< War. There is little factual or logical connection between the episodic shortani dghtedness of US policy during World War Two and the systematic enslave- ser ment, torture and murder of millions ^1 if human beings by the Nazis during ^1 the Holocaust. Those remotely familIar with history will note the order of magnitude difference between the meth- *oi: ids, objectives, and consequences of . ? both governments' conduct during that lts time.

This is an uninslligible attempt to allude to a topic bout wmcn tne autnor is seeing only le narrow view. The Nazis killed 10s of millions of ews in their cleansing campaign. This > vastly different from the US's reponsibility for the lives of a couple hunred thousand people at Hiroshima and fagasaki. These two atomic bombs, Fat lan and Little Boy, saved more than tiey killed. Allied commanders estilated over one million casualties would esult from an invasion of mainland anan. Do the math.
