Withdraw

In a recent letter, Armond "Si" Simmons said, "59 percent [of Americans] want to pull out immediately or on a definitive timetable" from Iraq. He went on to say, "it's obvious that 59 percent of the American people didn't have a clue as to fact that they were personally under attack by terrorists."

Sorry, the overwhelming evidence is that Iraq was not involved in the sad events of 9/11, and Iraq did not have WMD as President Bush claimed. Moreover, every intelligent person knows we would not be in Iraq if it didn't have oil that Bush's cronies covet. History will undoubtedly recognize Bush's preemptive invasion of Iraq as a crime against humanity and brand Bush as a "war criminal."

The right thing to do is withdraw from Iraq immediately and pay innocent Iraqi civilians for the damage Commander-in-Chief Bush has by abusing his authority as president.
