We should not leave our national security up to the responsibility of an organization that has failed in the Middle East and an organization with a history of failing to act quickly.

Great Letter.

Nice work Yoni - one other thing that comes to mind is how women are treated - not just in Iraq, but in all Arab countries. One of the great results of liberating Iraq is to see women free to go in public and girls get to attend school.

However I don't think these rational arguments would get through to the womyn's movement; American women that think Clinton the rapist is a great president are in such serious delusion I'm afraid there's no hope for them. But rational, independent (conservative) women would certainly consider this an important point.

I'm glad your letter got published!

Great letter!! And you are right on target with your analysis of the situation. It's a shame there aren't more people who see the truth about this madman in Iraq. I hope your letter opens some eyes.

Very nice piece.

I can just see the dim bulb campus leftists goggling at it without comprehension.

Yea! And they published it! Wow! Very clearly expressed. Very good. More people need to write letters like that. May I borrow a few ideas?

For being so young, you certainly are well informed about the issues - I applaud you and hopefully your radio show helps other young people sort out the truth of this situation. Thanks!!

Good letter and congratulations on its being printed, but as an American, points one and two are irrelevent.

Inspections are not the answer. Removing Saddam Hussein and his terrorist infrastructure are. He is a ticking time bomb. We should not leave our national security up to the responsibility of an organization that has failed in the Middle East and an organization with a history of failing to act quickly.

Unfortunately, Bush put resuscitating the UN above American security. Now, we have to live with that decision.

Remember, it was Clinton who made "inspections" meaningless. Inspections under Bush have new meaning. This is the difference between "inspections" then and now.

How is point 2 irrelevant? Iraq harbors terrorist groups who plan attacks on American interests and terrorist groups opposed to American freedom.
