How Many Lives? (2 Letters)

September 20, 2004
 


 


To the Editor: 

Bob Herbert ("This Is Bush's Vietnam,'' column, Sept. 17)
wonders who will be the last person to die for President
Bush's "colossal mistake'' in Iraq. Put that together with
your Sept. 16 front-page article about the pessimistic
National Intelligence Estimate on what lies in store for
Iraq, and with President Bush's inability to say how long
American troops will have to remain there. 

Five years? The last person to die for President Bush's
mistake may now be 13 years old. 

Ten years? The last person to die for President Bush's
mistake may now be 8. 

Fifteen years? The last person to die for President Bush's
mistake may now be 3. 

This is what John Kerry needs to tell parents all across
America. 

David M. Perlmutter

. 

To the Editor: 

My son will be 27 next March, the same
month that he's scheduled to return to Iraq with the
Marines. 

I was against the war when he went in March 2003, and I
shudder to think that he will be in greater danger this
time because of George W. Bush's unwillingness to concede
defeat. 

No mother's child should have to die for a president's
hubris.
