LETTERS: George Bush stood by Israel

   To the editor:
    As our president prepares to leave office after his two terms I want to thank him for having consistently been the best friend to Israel that I can remember.
   May only good things come to the life of President George W. Bush, who in past weeks stood in the way of an unworkable U.N. peace agreement, and has kept saying over and over again that Israel has the same right as any other country to protect their citizens.
   What kind of “leaders” can those in Hamas be, that they allowed this destruction and mayhem to be visited on their own countrymen, when Israel kept telling them that all they had to do to stop the war would be to not send any more bombs to their land?
