sfgate.com Maybe killing foreigners in far away lands is acceptable to some, but do we really want to be idling in unending gas lines again due to oil "shortages"? Rob Morse, SF Gate Letter to Dick Cheney: Dear Commander of the Commander-in-Chief: Are you sure we should invade Iraq? We're the ones having heart palpitations here. "Regime change" sounds clean and orderly, nicer than an election in Florida, but it's just another way of saying we want to overthrow a foreign government. Sure, that's as American as apple pie and banana republics, but as far as terrorism is concerned, there are more known links to al Qaeda in Paterson, N. J., than in Baghdad. If Bush Junior finishes the work of Bush Senior, blood will flow and oil likely will stop flowing, possibly leading to gas lines and a third dip in the recession. The weapons of mass destruction we want to eliminate probably will be used against our troops. We've read all the plans in the papers and none of them sounds so good, especially considering Saddam Hussein has read them, too. We all would like to take out Saddam, but he's hard to find, too.
