br> Cedar City, Utah /p> p> This was the first time, as far as I can recall, that I've read anything by Mr. Tyrrell. But if this typifies his writing, it will not be the last. Reid, Pelosi, et al. are always ready to accuse (usually falsely) others of playing politics over matters of grave concern to our country. They should remember that when someone points an accusatory finger at someone else, three of their fingers are pointing back at themselves. To put it in its simplest terms, Rumsfeld has it right, Reid and Pelosi have it horribly wrong. br> -- W. MacDiarmid br> Murphy, North Carolina /p> p> Americans who love our country and want to keep our FREEDOM, need to be very careful which party they vote for. One wants to give control to the U.N. and follow laws that come to us from overseas, they would try and "understand" the terrorist and say oh poor things they have been mistreated. The other wants to follow our Constitution and try to keep terrorist out of our country and not treat them as common criminals, but as someone that wants to wipe America off the maps. Although I am not crazy about the lack of border control from the Republicans. br> -- Elaine Kyle /p> p> It seems to me that whereas the mainstream media and their henchmen of the Democratic Party flagellate Sec. Rumsfeld on an hourly basis, they treat Sec Rice and her State Department munchkins with an obsequious condescending unctuousness. As Dr. Tyrrell points out, it is deemed unsporting, unseemly, or, horror of horrors: politically insensitive for the Sec/Def to clearly, convincingly, and loyally explicate the administration's Islamofascist policies and efforts. Why should this be? Perhaps because Ms Rice pays attention to these termagants and Mr. Rumsfeld does not? The administration has set new standards for poor performance with respect to communication with its citizens...Rumsfeld is about the sole exception....Mr. Lincoln had his Stanton...Bush his Rumsfeld, and a good thing I say. br> -- J.C.
