To the editor:
I must comment about your totally biased view and reporting on the war in Iraq and President Bush’s foreign policy in general. You comment that the president and the secretary of defense portray the situation in glowing terms while it is a long-simmering disaster.
This is not a disaster. Yes, 1,293 brave men and women have lost their lives in defense of freedom, but a disaster, not by any stretch of the imagination. It is difficult work deposing a rogue regime and administering a country the size of Iraq until free elections can be held. The president and our armed forces are up to the great task before them.
Your hatred of a conservative president and a foreign policy based upon strength, not political pardons and billions of dollars of stolen funds (the corrupt United Nations and Bill Clinton’s political buddies) blinds you to any other conclusion but that we must be wrong. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are safer today than before 9/11. It is no coincidence that there has not been another attack of that magnitude in this country. The message has been sent to the terrorists and their benefactors. We will get you and those that support you.
The rest of the world is against us. So what? The French and the Germans were making money from the Oil for Food program while Iraq starved. By the way, the Coalition of the Willing has many countries in it, like Great Britain. I could go on and on, but my message is this: Please, try to do your job as a journalist and report the news. And attempt on occasion to print an opinion that does not agree with your liberal anticonservative view of this great country and its very capable president.
