Letter: Leave Schiavo to her doctors, God

Tuesday, March 22, 2005 | 9:08 a.m.

Isn't it ironic how a president who has sent thousands of people to their deaths in Iraq under a false pretext rushes back to Washington to sign legislation that would prolong the life of someone who did not want to be kept alive in what medical and judicial professionals all agree is a persistent vegetative state?

Not a peep out of the Republicans in Congress or President Bush for the past seven years on this issue. Perhaps polls of the general public are showing a voting preference.

I choose to defer resolution of this issue to God and the professional opinions of the many individuals who have reviewed this situation for the past seven years, not President Bush or the Congress.
