Stories like “A Life Back in Flower When It Was Lost” (Oct. 26), regarding the death of a Muslim-convert GI, are extremely helpful. By separating the war in Iraq from “a war against Islam,” stories like this begin to isolate the harmful and counterproductive rhetoric that surrounds this war from an understanding of the positive outcome that a dramatic change of leadership, planning and rhetoric could allow this war to have -- not only in Iraq but throughout the Muslim world.
