Here's an excerpt from the letter:

"As the echo of the war drums fades away and the angry masses calling
for blood slowly disperse, we as a nation must now confront the truth.
We face the unpleasant reality of an uncertain future, compromised
safety,

The last time we were attacked was..............? 9/11. Seems like we're
pursuing the right strategy, kill them before they get here.

a failing economy,

Rebounding nicely. John should stick to what he knows.

the question of how a society of
otherwise reasonable citizens was systematically lied to and
manipulated into backing the political 'hijacking' of Iraq.

More bull****.

"Before a single bomb was ever dropped, some of us, formerly called
the 'anti-American and unpatriotic,' have questioned or opposed this
war.

Where were they when we went to Kosovo? Where's the outrage about still
being there?

Now, each day, as the dust settles and the truth slowly surfaces,
more and more people come to the inevitable conclusion of what a
debacle this whole war was.

Not the Iraqi people. Gallup polls show the majority of them want us there.

"Thirty-nine-thousand bombs later, no weapons of mass destruction
uncovered,
Not true.

no dangerous dictators captured, no connection to September
11th.

Terrorist training camps????

What have we gained but relentless media coverage of a fallen
statue and some stolen oil fields--the spoils of this misadventure.

Stolen? By whom? The Arabs stole them from us and now they still have
them.

Not to mention lucrative corporate payoffs and an enormous price tag
of over $80 Billion...some tax cut.

Just like last time the economy is growing it's way out of debt. Now if we
could get a big tax cut instead of the tiny one we've had we might really
take off.

"But what have we lost? We have lost the lives of over 300 Americans.
Approximately two U.S. troop deaths each day, 193 deaths since the war
was declared over. In total, an estimated 20,000 people have died,
thus far, in this conflict."


How many did Saddam kill?
