Mary Ann: Call a Spade a Spade. Bush started the Iraq war and for what reason? WMD was what we were told. Any thinking person would have known that Iraq had no Weapons of Mass Destruction. The UN inspectors 2 dsys after the invasion said there were no WMD. Then it was another rationale for going to war.....and yet another. As a lifelong Republican, I am devastated with our leadership or rather the lack of it. As a student of the various religions, I cannot for the life of me, figure out why Mr. Bush took on Iraq except for the razzing he no doubt got when in the national guard and senior Bush didn't finish the job when we were in drove Saddam out of Kwuait in 1991. His opposition to Embryonic Stem Cell Research is another stick in my craw. Purely political motivation on his part and that of the Republican Right Wing segment. Anyone who is political enough to believe that a particular party is always right is asking for trouble and it will come. Good leadership demands doing what is right not what is politically correct. The Golden Rule is still the best policy and will endure even if we have to over-throw the government to make it so. I tend to agree that politics should not be part of this list, however in the first paragraph above, one must call it as it is. Jack.....Topeka, KS The land of Sen. Brownback and the Board of Education who believes that Intelligent Design should be part of science classes rather than taught in the home and church. Also, home of the bigot, the Rev. Fred Phelps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
