Letter: Bush should be a president for all the people

Wednesday, Dec. 6, 2006 | 7:10 a.m.

For the last couple of years, Democrats or moderate Republicans who even hinted at troop reductions in Iraq were loudly and repeatedly branded as unpatriotic cut-and-run cowards, and naive about the global struggle against terrorism by an arrogant, condescending President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

Now that troop reductions seem to be the inevitable change of course - even endorsed by Rumsfeld - how much of the Bush administration's final two years will be spent apologizing to the many patriotic Americans maligned by a regime that seems to prefer seeing American service members killed and injured rather than admit their own arrogant mistakes and manufactured intelligence?

A president - especially one who's a self-styled "uniter" - should be president to all the people, not just to those who don't question his failed leadership.

Paul G. Feldman, Las Vegas
