Letters to the Editor



IRAQ

Our motives for war are mighty transparent

The Columbia astronauts suffered a horrific fate, but can we honestly claim that, in the divine
scheme of things, their lives were worth more than those of the innocent children we're prepared to
blow to bits in Iraq?

The motive for our designs on Iraq are so transparent -- oil profits, military dominance and
Bush-family revenge -- that only the most gullible non-thinker cannot see through them; and the
near-hysterical patriotic zeal with which many support that action is so arrogant and aggressive that
only those at the mercy of primitive emotions would elect to be a party to it.

The tragedy that befell the Columbia was a terrible accident for which no one is to blame.
Conversely, the blood of the Iraqi children will stain the hands of every single American who does
not rise up in protest against their needless slaughter.
