Letter: Flawed logic

To the editor:

Connecting the dots in his evasive letter of Feb. 26, Kevin Groenhagen appears to be claiming that:

  1. President Bush could have persuaded us to go to war against Iraq even if he had admitted that any WMDs left in Iraq were useless rusted hulks; and

  2. The invasion of Iraq was a good idea because Bush had a secondary goal of “freedom for Iraq” — even though the actual result was instead a combination of chaos, anarchy, and warlordism.

If that’s what Groenhagen means, his judgment is just plain wacko. If that’s not what he means, his letter makes no sense.
