A letter to John Kerry

Dear John, Many of us that would like to see Bush gone are influencing others through conversations and writings. We are not just looking for security and freedom. We are looking for someone to articulate the error of the Iraq war. Since the shock and awe pre emptive strike, over 900 americans have died and thousands of Iraqis. The maimed and mentally damaged ones are permanently scarred along with families of all. Unlike what we saw in 1968 when Robert Kennedy, Ted Kennedy, Dr. M. L. King and others took strong positions against the Vietnam war, In 2004, empathy for the dead and maimed from the politictians is a ground lightly treaded. Dialoque with the Terrorists, to speak of helping the poor,and making Bush and his administration accountable are all swept away in the illusion of polictics. The direction of this goverment is compared to a house with a roof leaking really bad while the occupants concern themselves only with keeping the floors waxed. Inspite of this analogy, my efforts and vote will stay with the democrates. Sincerely, Alfred Waddell
