Letter: Removing Saddam is the right thing

To the editor:
   
I’ve thought carefully about the imminent war with Saddam Hussein. After careful consideration, watching Colin Powell’s presentation at the United Nations and the demonstrations all over the world for peace last weekend, I’ve come to the following conclusion:
   The sooner we go in and disarm Saddam the better. I hope President George Bush has the fortitude to go through with it. I hope no amnesty will be given Saddam Hussein, that war criminal, (and his henchmen) and that he (they) will be brought to justice. It is a question about what is right and righteous, not of popularity.
   May President Bush have the courage to stand up against Saddam and the "peaceniks" (who are ignorant or are dupes of Saddam and other terrorists) and let our military remove this international cancerous criminal, destroy his weapons and bring freedom to the innocent Iraqis.
   We are well able to do this and the time is long past due already. And that’s the way I still see it.
