Letter: Follow money
And doesn't look good on your balance sheet. These kinds of losses can sink a company and drive away other investors.

Letter: Moral choice
It wasn't the democrats who made that judgment. Truman won the election and became the President. The people chose him over Daly. That means that not just democrats but republicans put their trust in him and he made the decision to end the war. I, personally, hate war, think it is totally avoidable, and think it is a senseless loss of life when started. What gains do we get from war? Iraq produced exactly what? Afghanistan what? Grenada What? Vietnam what? Millions dead for a cause that was unmanageble and fruitless.
"It is good that war is so terrible, else we would become too fond of it", Robert E. Lee

Editorial: Shirking state
You are right, Merrill, but the vote should be a referendum on his ability to be governor. He has stripped important services, education and now health. What more can this man do as governor until the people (voters) of this state say 'enough'?

Opinion: Russia on board with Syria peace plan
Do we know that for sure or did Israel just feel like bombing and killing innocent civilians as they usually do. No one is threatening their existence, not with the good ol USA behind them 100%. They just need to bomb, kill, burn and bulldoze to make it look like their are being threatened.

Opinion: Russia on board with Syria peace plan
Keep Israel out of the fray. Once they are in it, the whole middle east will look at the peace deal with a jaundiced point of view. That isn't good!

Opinion: U.S. should heed Vietnam lessons
We shouldn't have been in Iraq in the first place. If Israel needs water, that is their problem. Israel is not our problem since Israel never listens to us or respects our stance on political situatiuons. Let's let Israel fend for its self, they are strong enough, even from Netanyahu's point of view from statements he made in China.

Residents upset at theft of American flags from retirement community
Although I hate thieves and stealing American Flags is about as low as you can go. But, why were the flags out at night? American Flag etiquette says that flags should never be rained or snowed on, never should see darkness of night, and should be taken care of like one takes care of the country it represents.

Letter: Missile message
Frank Mertz I couldn't disagree with you more. Leaders, some of them elected and some of them not, are the ones who decide to go to war or not. If a leader (dictator) like Bashar Al Assad dicides to go to war against the US, do we hate all Syrians? Are they all our enemy. I think not. They were not involved in the decision to go to war, so why would we hate them. Killing the civilians in Iraq was a horrible crime. We should never kill civilians. Civilians are not our enemy. Combatant soldiers and the leaders who wanted the war are our enemies and we should always fight them, not civilians.
When we dropped the atomic bomb on Japan, we should have targetted military installations, not civilian populations. The military was against us, we don't know about the civilians.
We should always defend our selves and never accept to be occupied by another entity or country. We are soveriegn people, our freedoms are sacred and we should never be oppressed. Neither should we oppress others or allow our weapons sold or given to another country oppress others. That is against the law of nature.
