Every time I look at television, I see pharmaceutical commercials. I've noticed that everything is getting an acronym. For example, I think I heard one about enlarged prostates. I cannot remember the acronym but it was something like EPN. Then there is restless leg syndrome--I think--and its RLS--I think. Anyway, we can shorten evil-doers or evil doers to EDs. Since you mention the pharms. Wouldn't the public get confused over what ED stood for. War against Evil doers vs. War against Erectile Disfunction. We should pass on the acronyms. It's too confusing for the public. CT. I'll bet it annoys the heck out of GW that he's going to have to spend more money on the wounded Veterans from Iraq. He had them nicely tucked away in building 18 and out of sight. One day they're the best and brightest next day they're worthless scum sucking Federal VA funds. jttmab

This one is really good.... Letter to the Editor: "Blame Democrats for Iraq war" 03/11/2007 In his Tuesday letter ("Reasons for impeachment"), James Nagy wrote "the House needs to wash its hands of the matter by drawing up articles of impeachment" and "needs to lead by example." Do Nagy and all the other impeachment advocates not know that it is the current group of Democrats in office - Clinton, Kerry, Kennedy, Reid, et-al - who put our troops in Iraq. President Bush recommended the war, but Congress overwhelmingly legalized it, made it happen. That is their example. "An equally valid and perhaps even superior way" to stop the war, then, would be to impeach Congress itself. They could then wash their hands of the matter they caused and could bathe in ignominy again. It is the Nagys of America and the media who undermine our ability to prevail in Iraq. We are at war - an overly Democratically-started war. Peter Homitz Monaca timesonline.com
