They Write Letters

These people live among us. From the San Luis Obispo Tribune, September 20, 2007:

Love it or leave it


I’m responding to Frank Wilkins’ letter on Sept. 12 that said, “Bush exploited America’s fear by pushing his bogus case of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction.”




How soon we forget, Mr. Wilkins, the whole world agreed that Saddam Hussein had them. And now, because we decide to stand up and confront evil, you say we’re the enemy.




Now we’ve lost respect because of Abu Ghraib. Prisoners were stripped naked and walked on dog leashes. That was heinous? I’ll tell you what’s heinous, Mr. Wilkins. Heinous is American soldiers burned and hung from bridges and people on video being beheaded. Now you tell me, who’s the barbaric ones?




I’m tired of hearing about how America is to blame for the woes of the whole world. It’s time Americans woke up and realized just what we’re up against, like it or not. And the best part of being American is that if you don’t like it, you’re free to leave.
