In her Aug. 25 letter, Laura Mitchell stated that American troops were dying in Iraq for us and our country. Not true. Not one single American has died protecting our country since World War II. Every battle fought since then has been part of the political agenda of the federal government.

If you do not understand this, think about the weapons of mass destruction that Bush has been looking for in vain. They do not exist, never did, and Bush knew it all along. If you want to know what this war was really all about, check the gas prices the next time you fill up that big old SUV, then check to see who gave all of the money to get Bush elected.
