The people speak: Let’s change direction of U.S. with 2008 vote
I just read this excellent letter to the editor, I thought someone might like it...

Merry Christmas to George Bush and Dick Cheney, and to all who voted for the war in Iraq.

I see what you mean by shock and awe. My son won’t be here for Christmas because he was killed in Iraq. Thanks for your form letter, buttons and folded flag in the name of Iraqi freedom.

Or was it Iraqi oil and your own greed?

You robbed the American taxpayers of billions of dollars. You bombed the crap out of a small country, killed thousands of our sons and daughters, maimed many more than you killed, displaced millions of people and destroyed our reputation in the world that my dad and others built, the greatest nation on earth, just a few years ago.

Enjoy the holidays with your families.

I will be voting for Dennis Kucinich in 2008 so that the memory of my son might have the opportunity to change the course of this country and we can begin to rebuild our country’s reputation as the beacon of hope around the world.

3. Thank you for posting this
I'm glad to see this letter to the editor was actually printed (and in OK!). You're right, it's excellent.

My heart goes out to this father, as well as all the families who are missing someone due to the bush/cheney 'war'.

Yes, I agree! Let’s change direction of U.S. with 2008 vote
