Bob McClellan thinks the answer in the Middle East and all world conflict is diplomacy. He includes the conflict in Ukraine as one to be settled by diplomacy.
LETTER: Gas prices falling to where they started?
As we watch in awe at plummeting oil prices in the world, let us not forget that on Jan. 20, 2009, the day Barack Hussein Obama took the oath of office as president, the average price of gasoline at the pump was $1…
LETTER: Don't forget that nature has its own wisdom
A disturbing syntax appears in the recent Inter Lake comments on wolves. From the “Flathead Outdoors” column’s “...having hundreds of wolves running around eating deer 24/7 has impacted our deer herds,” (Dec. 31, 2…
LETTER: Consider the facts before condemning the wolves
With all due respect to Kelly Baracker (“About that moose decline, what about wolves?”), many of us seek to navigate the contentious ground that is wolf stewardship by relying on actual facts and science, not just …
LETTER: Roots of our dysfunctional president
It was clear from his speech last night that Obama seems mystified by the amount of dysfunction inside of the political world. He shouldn’t be as he is part (or most of) the problem. Our acrimonious political world…

LETTER: Evidence goes both directions
This addresses Mark Suppelsa’s letter in the Jan. 1 Daily Inter Lake that a claim about Barack Obama being a Muslim is baloney.
LETTER: Obama's gun talk misleading
I suppose someone is going to put Obama in for an Oscar for his tearful plea on gun control. What he should get is an award for selling more guns than anyone in the history of firearms.
LETTER: A billion dollar victory? Hmmm
My wife Cathy is a die hard Seahawks fan who almost blew out my eardrums when the Vikings’ field goal attempt went wide.
LETTER: Fix Montana IDs
I keep waiting for Gov. Steve Bullock, the Montana Department of Tourism and Business Development, the county commissioners, the Flathead Municipal Airport Authority and the Chamber of Commerce to address the issue…
LETTER: Stand up to federal overreach
After failing many times to get gun control legislation passed through Congress, the Obama administration is now bypassing the legislature and the constitutional rules that restrain him to enact new draconian gun c…
OPINION: Kalispell newcomer tells story of his first year 'out West'
Happy holidays to all the citizens of Savannah. As you might recall I practiced medicine in your uniquely beautiful city for a quarter century and offered a regular health column for the Savannah Morning News for 1…
OPINION: Just who's a natural born citizen?
I am prompted to write this letter as a result of Ted Cruz’ recent statement that he is a natural born citizen and eligible to be President of the United States, claiming that it is “settled law” — which it is not …
