I saw a letter I really liked in yesterday’s Tennessean. After I read it, I pretty much forgot it. Fortunately, Winston (Nobody Asked) didn’t forget the letter. The writer speaks for many of us who oppose THIS war.
Letter writers make a common error in equating opposition to the war in Iraq with opposition to the war against terrorism. What they fail to understand is that most of us believe that immersing U.S. forces in a power stuggle between religious/political sects diverts human, material, and enormous financial resources.
Read the entire letter. Thanks to Winston for NOT forgetting a simple, yet eloquent letter.
Thanks for picking up the link and passing it on. You raise another point that I have realized many times — how often we read or hear something that makes sense, that appeals to our way of thinking, only to smile, say “yes”, and move on. This is the first time I have repeated a letter like this, but not likely to be the last. It is important for all of us to understand just how many of us really do have legitimate objections and concerns for how our country has been dragged down into the muck by the greed, ineffectiveness, inattention, and indifference of the current administration.
