Saddam Tried to Kill Bush's 'Daddy'
RECEIVED Mon., July 2, 2007
Dear Editor,
I don't usually buy into conspiracy theories, but I find myself agreeing with Jay Williams [“Postmarks,” June 29]. I remember an interview with President Bush early on. He specifically and emphatically told the reporter that he was going after Saddam because "he tried to kill my daddy." I knew right then this whole thing was going to be a disaster, for Bush was going to let his ego get in the way of his common sense. (Does he really have any?) Did it ever occur to him that maybe the Iraqi people didn't want "democracy" stuffed down their throats?
This country will be very fortunate if we come out of this quagmire in one piece. Bush and his cronies have worked hard to cause much of the world to literally hate us. There's no place an American can safely travel anymore. It's guilt by association. I've had total strangers in Europe demand to know why I support Bush. I say that the majority of the United States does not support his policies or his arrogant, narcissistic behavior.
