Defensive move
To the editor:
I recall President Bush’s prayer at his inauguration that God would give him wisdom in shielding our country from terrorism.
To citizens questioning why our troops are in Iraq, perhaps their knowledge of history does not include the statement of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower during World War II: “We are fighting along the Rhine to keep from fighting in New York.”
Would we not all agree with that decision — even those of us in the Midwest?
