Praise for Panetta column on Iran nuclear deal

Praise for Panetta column on Iran nuclear deal

As a member of the Physicians for Social Responsibility, I want to praise Congressman Panetta's sophisticated Commentary endorsing the Iran Nuclear Deal (Herald, Sunday, Oct. 28). Nuclear holocaust is unthinkable.

Any lingering concern over Jimmy Panetta being a legacy candidate, or lacking the ability to fill Sam Farr's shoes, have been put to rest. His articulate presentation at the League of Women Voters this past week confirms our endorsement of him as our congressional representative.

Hopefully he will be successful in influencing his Republican colleagues on the Armed Services Committee to pressure our president to keep his word to drain the swamp of Pentagon wastefulness.
