I was surprised at the balance in your article “Out of Iraq” (Jan. 5) from a liberal media like the Sun. However, some comments are still deserved.
We did not go to war in Iraq over oil; we get only 5 percent from them today; before, 0 percent. The WMD were believed in by the whole world, and Saddam did his best to lead us to think he had them. He did have the capability to have them if we had not exterminated him. And yes, we should not believe what the media say about anything, especially about the Middle East.
Bond’s comments were good. The comment from Elkarra of CAIR is typically misguided. You do not evolve from a dictator to another form of government unless you are the intelligent Russians. Pres. George Bush did the only thing to get rid of a dictator: war from the outside, just as Roosevelt did to Hitler and Tojo. Dictators do not give up power; it has to be taken from them.
Bush was right!
