Dear Editor,

There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein should be gone. I just wish we didn't have to talk about it so much. All it does is stir up bad feelings against us in just about all of the rest of the world. We should be just doing what we have to do in Afghanistan, with our full attention directed there, then when it's over, we can deal with Iraq. Now we've given Saddam and all those many who love him - the ones who don't have to live under him - plenty of extra motivation and time to actively plot against us.

What we need here is a little - a lot - less freedom of speech.

Thank you, John Vehon
