Crushing Iraq’s War Machine
Bravo, Anthony Day, for your succinct, coherent analysis of our role in the Persian Gulf, (“Americans Have Patience to Let International Action Succeed,” Commentary, Sept. 29).
Yours is a voice of reason that answers the specious arguments of the “war party,” which is trying to brainwash the American people to accept the inevitability of war--a war that we can easily win with a quick surgical strike.
I think Vietnam taught us the futility of fighting a political war, a war that claims the lives of thousands of men and women for a cause that does not claim our hearts. I don’t believe Americans want to sacrifice another generation for a dictatorial emirate or for cheap oil.
