In response to George Hamilton’s Thursday letter, headlined “Vote for either man is a vote for war”: As Barack Obama learns and matures, he is coming to the realization that George W. Bush, John McCain, the Democrats (a huge majority), and the American public (another huge majority), were correct all along. All but a couple of our lawmakers voted to send our warriors into battle.
As commander in chief of the battle in Iraq, George Bush has performed poorly; from the beginning there weren’t enough troops and they were never allowed to be aggressive. This battle in the war on terrorism should have been over years ago.
Obama is slowly coming to the realization that the war on terrorism is far from over, and any distinction on this issue between him and John McCain is fading fast. Mr. Hamilton states that “millions of young voters must be shocked.” Why? The truth will come out!
The voters have an alternative. If you are a voter who abhors all war and settling for peace at any price is your goal, vote for the real “no war” candidate — Ralph Nader. Just do not expect peace to follow.
