John RayDuped by BushSun Jul 13 15:48:56 2003208.152.73.190Duped by BushBy T. John LeGear, Tribune VOICE OF THE PEOPLE (LETTER), 07/13/03 http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/letters/chi-0307130549jul13,1,7188262.story Palos Hills¾ This is regarding "Critics urge war inquiry; Some wonder if uranium claim was part of pattern of deception" (Page 1, July 9). I hope the Tribune’s editorial boardhas the integrity to admit that it was misled by the Bush administration, and wrong to endorse the ill-advised invasion of Iraq without hard evidence of the preposterous claims made by the White House leading up to the war.I vigorously opposed the attack and called loudly for hard evidence, which would have consolidated all peace-loving nations of the world against Saddam Hussein. That, in turn, would have set the table for winning the peace over there.If weapons of mass destruction were such an imminent threat, surely the Tribune must have wondered why inspectors couldn’t find any evidence of them before the invasion.As for President Bush’s claim that Hussein had procured raw nuclear materials from Niger, didn’t your journalists in Washington feel compelled to investigate? And didn’t the president’s claim that secular Iraq was directly tied to Muslim extremist Osama bin Laden’s Sept. 11, 2001, attack signal Bush’s desperation to attack Iraq at any price, by any means?Millions of us around the world marched against the Bush administration’s unmitigated gall to take global law into its own hands, which we knew would result in the deaths of hundreds of brave Americans and British forces, and thousands of innocent Iraqis. By now everyone knows the killing is far from over, and to what end? To impose American-style democracy in the Muslim world, and expect its people to say, "Sure, OK, let’s do it the invaders’ way"?Opponents to the war were right, and as a loyal reader of the Tribune since John F. Kennedy’s presidency, I feel perfectly justified in asking your editorial staff to admit that patience and further investigation into the president’s outlandish claims would have been the wiser choice.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"I am only one, but I am one.I cannot do everything, but I can do something.And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.What I can do, I should do.
