Forgotten attacks
Editor, The Journal:
How soon we forget! Remember
when the Arabs struck the World
Trade Center in New York City in
the 1990s? And the two WTC tow-
ers in 2001?
Our President has not forgotten.
Neither has he forgotten that the
Arabs are infiltrating this country.
Do you know that there is an Arab
mosque just outside of Olympia?
You who are so quick to condemn
those who are spending their pre-
cious time and energy to protect us
from the terrors of war on our own
soil should spend a little time in
prayer that our leaders will con-
tinue to look to our Lord and God
fbr wisdom. Our President does
that. Be thankful and less critical•

Deirdre A. Tobey in her let-

Van Cleave everything but a draft
dodger. He had some things in his
letter that I don't agree with. He
has a right to his opinion and he
has a family history to be proud
of.
I think Ms. Tobey should study
her early American history. I, too,
can trace some of my family back
like that. The first leaders of this
country were Christian• Thomas
Jefferson did not accept the New
Testament. Some of my early an-
cestors to this country came be-
cause of religious persecution.
Here they had freedom of religion
as George stated in his letter.

Most important thing in life
Editor, The Journal:
This is in regards to the latest
news of baby Thomas Boettger's
parents possibly being charged
with the death of their son.
I remember reading the obitu-
ary back in November and think-
ing to myself how horrible it was
to have lost their baby. Especially
since I at the time was a brand-
new mother to a baby girl, my
firstborn. My first instinct was to
go right down and donate money
to the baby fund at Lynch Creek
Floral. Crying all the way there,
we went in and gave money.
Now looking back I feel even
more terrible, not for the parents
but for that beautifhl, innocent
baby who paid with his life and
for the sister who now will grow
up with no parents and no broth-
er.
As I watched the morning news
today I held my now 5-month-old
daughter close and made a prom-
ise to her that no matter what,
Mommy and Daddy would never
hurt her.
This story has put things into
perspective for me, that no mat-
ter how upset I get with things,
the number-one most important
thing in my life is my daughter.
