(George Van Cleave let- ter, March 22.) What an incred- ibly ignorant way of thinking! It is people like him who are destroying the entire race of mankind! His hateful thinking and stupid- ity lead him down angry, violent paths. Suicide bombers think like that. Nazis, white supremacists, religious separatists and millions of others think like him. He be- lieves it is treasonous to speak out against a President and his flunkies who have lied to us! They have lied to us over and over. They have led our country into an illegal war which has meant the deaths of at least 800,000 people! This has profited our great and wonderful leaders and their friends. All they had to do was lie and tell us we were in grave dan- ger from weapons of mass destruc- tion and terrorists and people fell right into line. People like George can't or don't bother to really look clearly at anything. If he is so ready to fight these terrorists that threaten "our" home, why is he not scream- ing at our Commander-in-Chief to actually send our young men and maybe even himself to the coun- tries where the terrorists came from? Maybe Saudi Arabia would be a good start. Don't tell me Saddam was one. He was not. He did not tolerate terrorists in his country. Yes, he was horrid, but our President is responsible for almost as many deaths himself now! There are plenty of "bad leaders" who have killed far more of their own people. Oh wait though, they don't have oil! As for freedom of religion, I think that would include many Americans who are Islamic and deserve respect. Jesus would not be happy with George's way of thinking.

As long as there are people like him there will always be war, terror- ists and needless killing. His way of thinking is EVERY- THING that is wrong with this world. Remember, suicide bomb- ers and men who ran death camps all thought they knew the "One True God." God did not know them. "Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness. I never knew you." Sadly people like George are so blinded they are unable to see any truth at all. My family has also been here since the mid-1600s. Remember that our forefathers, who by the way were not mostly Christians, committed treason against our English king at the time. If they had not been willing to speak up against tyranny we would be Brit- ish today. If they, like George, felt it was wrong to speak against their Commander-in-Chief then, where would we be? Of course if George lived back then he would have stood by his king, just as he does today. It is time we as Americans im- peach the liars and thieves who are running this country. If you must fear someone, fear our Com- mander-in-Chief who has in the span of seven years turned Amer- ica into the most hated country and given us a debt so large my great-grandchildren will still only be paying the interest. That debt did not include any real help to millions of us who have little or no medical insurance and have a hard time just making it from day to day. How much of the billions spent on this war could have bettered our homeland and made it truly safer for the thousands who go to bed every night cold, hungry and sick? How much could have been spent cleaning up the drug-in- fested neighborhoods and better- ing our schools so we really could leave a better place for our chil- dren? Oh but, once again we have no oil for our leaders to profit from. Our dying children in Iraq and here at home are just a means to their glory. They will not miss them. They will not weep on their graves. Deirdre A. Tobey Skokomish Valley Husqvarna Tough Name. Tough Equipment.
