Blame Bush not soldiers

To charge members of our military, especially the Marines, with murder is ludicrous and absurd when it is President Bush who is responsible for the lies, atrocities and the death and disfigurement of thousands of our soldiers as well as Iraqi civilians. Thanks to Bush and his equally clueless cronies, terrorism is on the rise as more radical groups regard our country with hate. His smug disregard for the truth of what madness he has created endangers our country more each day that this horrid war continues. Bush should be impeached and put on trial, not these young, innocent soldiers barely out of high school working under the greatest stress imaginable and forced to carry out orders from a White House that puts no value on their young lives. Support our troops — get rid of Bush. Toni Bracey, Egg Harbor Twp Published in the Atlantic City Press, July 7, 2006
