Good letter!

Future: Great analysis of the pitfalls and massive defects in the current health care bill being pushed down the throats of America. It is
simply inexplicable how so many kool aid drinkers there are who would buy in to a plan riddled by the huge deficiencies and massive costs, and gaps as are contained in this plan. What you have outlined is something that should be framed and saved. Post it everyday, and send
in as a letter to the editors.

That's right,bring our troops home, stick our heads in a hole and wait for the exremists to move in with their WMDs and take over. What planet do you live on? We do not send troops to Afghanistan because it's a great place to vacation. we are fighting a war against extremism.

No one knows what this disaster will look like when it hits the street squealing like the pig that it is. The braindead citizens who are promoting this are blinded by a fantasy--the greatest and most miserable mistake in a lifetime as a domestic policy. It will slash half a trillion from Medicare and tax the middle class and cripple small businesses who create jobs. "advanced nations", please! These are nations that are no where as great as America. We have an outstanding health care platform.After the "great new plan" is rolled out there will still be 25 million that is does not cover. If our elected leaders cram this plan down our throats--look out in 2010 and 2012.

Let me see--we would go to whom in Afghanistan and say "give us the bad guys"? The bad guys are
Taliban, and they are rooted in so firmly that it will take years of fighting to rid the nation of them. The government is incapable of even governing the major cities without corruption, much less turning over the bad guys. Pakistan is currently fighting the bad guys, and don't want us in the country at all. This just is not a realistic plan for defeating the extremists. We will need to keep boots on the gound in Afghanistan for years. A full scale counterinsurgency is needed there.We will have to win over the hearts and minds ofpeople there by protecting the cities so that normal life becomespossible, and eventually,hopefully, the local tribesin the country side will turn on the Taliban--this way we avoid the fatal mistakes made by the Soviet Union during its war with the Afghan guerrillas in the 1979-1989 war.
