How Far We've Come

While its editorials still lean decidedly right-of-center, the NY Daily News readers continue to send in letters that I think better reflect what actual people are thinking. A letter in today's edition for example-

Manhattan: President Bush's new goals in Iraq - stability, no safe haven for Al Qaeda and a bulwark against Iran - all sound a lot like Iraq under Saddam Hussein. It's further proof that more than 3,700 Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis have died for nothing.

Or to quote Dick Cheney, "How many dead Americans is Saddam worth... not very many."

(The Post, meanwhile, still focuses on the hypocritical 'controversy' that affects no one.)
