Growing list

To the editor:

Recently a senior honor thesis, “Uncovering the Rationales for the War on Iraq: The Words of the Bush Administration,” by Devon Largio, (a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), uncovered 27 different rationales between Sept. 12, 2001, and Oct. 11, 2002, for invading. All but four of the rationales originated with the administration of President George W. Bush. I am so looking forward to a follow-up list that will count the large number of reasons given since October 2002 for this illegal war.
