Out of control

Saddam Hussein and his cabinet members should be released from prison and restored as the leaders of Iraq, as they were before we invaded the country. Then, we should bring our troops home. Under Saddam, the people of Iraq had water, electricity, jobs, and no one was going around as suicide bombers blowing up public places and killing bystanders daily. I recall cars, buses and people moving about just like in any other city. Saddam had everything under control and we came in and made a big mess out of everything and spent millions of American dollars doing so. Foremost and even more precious is the loss of American youths in our military. After four years in Iraq, we are the most hated people in that country, and the same thing goes for in Afghanistan, where the Taliban are regaining all that was lost. And President Bush tells us everything is under control. Edward Kochaniewicz, Berlin Borough - Published in the Courier Post, October 15, 2006
