Innocents lost

I just read "Is Bush the Lesser of Two Evils?" published Oct. 30, 2001, written by Justin Lambright. I can honestly say, I’m ashamed to attend a school that allows such rhetoric published publicly using its facilities.

In the article, Mr. Lambright calls for pulling out all U.S. and UN forces in the region to nullify terrorism, and in the same article he calls himself a realist.

I’m writing to say, "C’mon Lambright, get real." Bin Laden came over here and punched America in the face and you want him to be let alone so he can commit this evil again.

In reality, we are currently acting in "self-defense" of our country. Also, I’m not ignorant to the questionable U.S. foreign policy and decision-making in the past, but when was the last time the USA went to another country and cowardly killed thousands of their citizens? NEVER.

All in all, Mr. Lambright, I’m disgusted by your view of U.S. policy and your lack of patriotism.
