(Re: Ken Arnold’s letter “Democrats embolden our enemies,” March 7, page 4) For myself, and I’m sure for many other residents of Santa Monica who are shaking their heads, it would be more correct to say that George W. Bush and the Republicans emboldened our enemies with their pre-emp-tive war. There were no daily suicide bombings, visible death and destruction before Bush and neoconservative warhawks invaded Iraq.
Mr. Arnold’s letter reads like it was scripted by Michael Savage, FOX NEWS and Ann Coulter. It would take too long to critique Arnold’s letter, so my rebuttal is this: Gas is back up to $3 a gallon. Isn’t it time for another election so that Republicans can work their magic and bring gas prices back down?
