Reader comment on item: [Looting:] An Iraqi Tragedy

Submitted by betty ochs (United States), Apr 22, 2003 at 13:23

Your article regarding the looting of Iraqi treasures was so sane that it almost seems out of place in the new world of hysterical commentary.

Sometimes I wish that some politician, or journalist...any nationality....any ethnic group, would tell everyone to just lighten up. I doubt that any government is completely candid with the public. That includes ours.

But for these "pundits" to equate our president with Attila and all of the other rotten guys in history is so ludicrous, as to be actually funny. I'm no fan of his,but he hardly strikes me as being quite that evil.

Thanks for listening/reading. You are quite a fine writer.
