Where to find products still made in America?

Where to find products still made in America?
EDITOR:
On Columbus Day I took some time to go shopping to look for a golf shirt for my brother whose birthday is soon. I ventured into a local golf shop and saw some nice shirts for around $60. However, none of the shirts was made in America.
I left the store and went to a nearby shopping mall. One of the stores also had some nice cotton shirts and sweaters with brand names such as Roundtree & amp; York, Ralph Lauren & amp; Polo. The salesclerk asked me if I needed any help? I replied "Yes. I think I need a good lesson in geography to help figure out where some of these countries are located, I can't even pronounce some of their names." She said nothing.
I went to another well known store in the mall and got the same results. All of the well known brand-name sportswear was pricey, and none was made in America. At the front of the store I noticed a rack of T-shirts with the American flag and "God Bless America" slogans. I checked the tag on them, and surely enough they were made in Honduras and Haiti.
Upon leaving the mall, I passed by a gift shop that also displayed T-shirts with the American flag and "Proud To Be An American" slogan. The shirts were not 100 percent American made as the label stated that the components were American but assembled in Mexico.
I left the mall thinking to myself, if this country is headed toward a recession, I can see why. Unfortunately for my brother, who is proud to be an American and defended our country by serving in the Vietnam War, he won't be receiving a golf shirt from me this year.

Editorial page embodied true American citizenship
EDITOR:
On reading your editorial page on Tuesday, Oct. 9, I couldn't help but shed tears as I read the letter from Matthew Smith, and also from the 59-year-old Viet Nam veteran William D. Oliver. Then I turned over to the column "Terrorists get taste of own medicine" by E. Thomas McLanahan, and then to finish it with Bill Tammeus' column "Patriotism requires more than flags."
This page, has to be one of your classics and if anyone out there reading this missed the Oct. 9 editorial page, they need to get to their computers, or to their library and find out what an American citizen should be.
Thank you, Vindicator, for a page that brought tears of joy and reminded me of who I should be as an American.

Let Saudis or Jordan try bin Laden in absentia
EDITOR:
Since Sept. 11, we've heard the desire of the United States of America to capture Osama bin Laden and bring him back here to stand trial. Yes, he should most definitely stand trial, but not in the United States.
I believe we should ask Saudi Arabia or Jordan to try him right now in absentia on behalf of all his victims under Islamic Law. Assuming he's found guilty, let them sentence him to what ever punishment is suitable under Islamic Law (which, as just about everyone knows, can be a heck of a lot more just than U.S. law).
We'd probably solve a few problems if we went that route. The first of which is he'd probably get knocked down a few pegs in the martyrdom department.
Next, it would prove to the world Islamic community that we are not fighting a war against Islam. And third, if his feet don't touch U.S. soil, we don't have to worry about the ACLU or some other left-wing liberal jerk crying over bin Laden's right to a fair trail. Just something to think about.
