Backs president’s stance for nation
Contrary to most recent headlines, many people such as me are still pleased and confident with President Bush. The defense of our nation should be one of the federal government's primary concerns. Bush has identified threats to our nation and is dealing with them rather than rolling over in submission, as so many in our nation think we should. Islamic and socialist nations and rulers have little to offer other than suffering, oppression an hopelessness. Still, many in our nation place the on pedestals and call th media to admire an report their "progressiveness." It makes me nauseous.
We fought in support of our great nation and ou way of life in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Cold War and others. Why quit on our nation now? There are also a lot of people around the world counting on us for defense because they can't and other won't. Let's not quit on them either.
I support this president and I pray his successor will be even more vigorous in defense of our nation and freedom around the world.

my letter to the editor in response
published january 20th
A recent letter to the editor praised Bush for defending our nation from threats after “identifying” them. He went on to bash “Islamic and socialist nations” and their rulers. He never mentions Iraq. At the time we attacked Iraq, the leader was a brutal secular dictator we propped up during the 1980’s. Remember the famous photo of then G.D. Searle & Co. head, Donald Rumsfeld, shaking his hand during a visit to Iraq in 1983.
At the time we attacked, invaded, and occupied Iraq they had not threatened us, our allies or any of their neighbors. Almost 4 years later, thousands of humans have lost their lives. Most are Iraqis. And the alleged “identified” threat, those pesky WMD’s, have not materialized. Iraq is in shambles, with “depleted” uranium spread throughout their lands forever. Our troops are in the middle of a civil war, bulls’ eyes on their backs and Bush wants to send more.
How can one American be pleased and have any confidence with Bush?
If our president really cared about our safety, he would be working day and night with the rest of the world figuring out how we will face climate change, worldwide resource depletion and hunger.
