Republicans don't make us safer
Laurel's (Fence Post) confusion worries me. She starts her letter with the issue of water boarding suspected terrorists and that's fine with her, but as an American I find it appalling.
Why should we swirl in the muck with scum? We are better than that, and besides, very little credible information comes from torture.
While it is true there are radical elements who will torture and kills us, it is unfair to lump all Muslim people this way.
The truth about Guantanamo Bay is there have only been a few to be found guilty of anything and more than half have been released.
She also stated Democrats want to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan and that's false. I have never heard any Democrat say we have to get out of Afghanistan; in fact, just the opposite.
She seems to think she is safe with a Republican president, and I can't imagine why, since we were attacked while a Republican was in office.
This same man, G.W. Bush, has stated he doesn't even think about Osama Bin Laden any more -- his words.
We should have never entered Iraq and all those generals that have been replaced because they wouldn't be yes men for George have either resigned or were replaced.
Stop drinking the Republican Kool-aid and stop living in fear.
We have the finest military in the world. We just need a smart commander in chief, not one who declares war and then doesn't even secure his own borders.
