Reader comment on item: White House Nonchalance [toward the Middle East]

Submitted by San (United States), Mar 23, 2006 at 21:54

but why did the US "liberate" a country so that country could try a man for being a Christian with a possibility that trial could result in a death sentence? Is this spreading democracy? Is Bush blind to all of this? Should the US be sacrificing their young men to help a country return to the dark ages? Why, Bush, why?
