My letter to Sens. Cornyn and Hutchinson

Senator [Cornyn/Hutchinson],

I have read Karl Roves' statement today that "Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers.
[...]

Let me just put this in fairly simple terms: Al Jazeera now broadcasts the words of Senator Durbin to the Mideast, certainly putting our troops in greater danger. No more needs to be said about the motives of liberals."

I am retired military and a liberal. Besides the fact that Rove's statements are insulting and Un-American, they are pure McCarthyism. He is being divisive when America needs to be unified in the face of terrorism and the nasty blow-back caused by attacking Iraq with inadequate troops and then disbanding the Iraqi Army.

Does Karl Rove speak for you?
