Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Charlie Rose convenes a five-year anniversary panel of American foreign policy experts to present "both sides" on the Iraq war. As usual, none were actual opponents of the invasion.
  • Opposing the war....

    I am a dyed in the wool conservative, was vocally against invading, much less occupying Iraq and somewhat resent your simple one-dimensional analysis and overly simple categorization of hawks/doves.

    I registered Independent when the moron ran, knowing him and his military history could never allow me to help that fruitcake, at all. Disgusting deserter could never fly, either.

    So, now you know at least one fiscal conservative activist who, from technical knowledge alone, could not see a way to successfully invade, then disengage from, Iraq, knowing that any occupation would also be a disaster.

    There are more where I come from, many in the halls of the Pentagon. Try not to alienate those of us, who, while differing how to get there, still want to be in the same place as you.
