The strength of Moroni's commitment, his ability to see through the false
premises of the Lamanites, and many of his other personal qualities are
evident in the epistle he sends to the Ammoron, the leader of the Lamanites.
Moroni is a man I would always want on my side and in my fox hole. By the
way, if you take one "M" out of Ammoron's name you get A moron. Very
appropriate I think. Leaders must be cognizantly aware of the motives,
especially ulterior motives, of enemies. People who want total rule of a
civilization are always cooperative until the noose is around the neck.
Deception is one of the main tools that is used. This has been so
throughout history and it's no different now. Notice how in A moron's reply
to Moroni's letter he insists that it is the right of the Lamanites to rule
over the Nephites. Despots are never satisfied to rule just their own
people. And they are never satisfied to rule people with fairness and
freedom.
