First Afghanistan and Iraq, now Iran It is hard to fathom that in just eight years President Bush and his past and present group of cronies have taken our country to two wars, both ongoing and their outcome much in doubt, and at a cost of tens of thousands of lives and nearly a trillion dollars of treasure. Yet once again, he stirs the pot toward another engagement with his third member of the evil three, Iran. Should we feel that we have not as yet sufficiently satisfied Bush's ego as to his legacy as to his desire to be known as a wartime president. Do you believe VP Cheney misstated by saying the insurgency in Iraq is in its last throes? Do you question that the war is winnable? Do you believe the Decider in Chief says that there is another smoking gun and this time for sure, we have the intelligence to back it up? Does Iran have the right to develop nuclear energy as a future source of energy even though they have one of the world's largest reserves of natural gas and oil, and by doing so, extend the life of those reserves putting our future lack of energy and our economy in jeopardy as we deplete our North American source of supply? Was John McCain correct when he said the top priority in Iraq is oil, and do you think that the war in Iraq is worth the loss of life and treasure, and that the war in Iraq is the central focus for the war on terror, and fighting it there makes us safe at home? Should Bush and his cronies be held personally responsible for this ill-fated dilemma in the Middle East? William T. "Nick" Smith Pinehurst Drive
