Admitting wrong about Iraq
Kudos to Scott Stantis for his Op-Ed page cartoon on March 25. As a Vietnam veteran who opposed the Iraq War from the beginning, I applaud his willingness to admit he was wrong. Too bad others, like Dick Cheney, who led us into this debacle, can’t...Tags: Iraq War (2003-2011), Iraq

Letters: The rich really are different
Re "They aren't like the rest of us," Opinion, March 22 That rich people should act in their own self-interest is not surprising. What is unfortunate for our democracy is their extreme degree of political influence. Political leaders are put into office...Tags: Ronald Reagan, Politics, Elections

Letters: WMD intelligence -- errors or lies?
Re "The what if's of Iraq," Opinion, March 19 Max Boot claims that the justification of ending Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program for going to war with Saddam Hussein was an error, not a lie. He then assigns much of the blame for the ongoing...

Iraq's bitter lessons
It has been 10 years since then-Secretary of State Colin Powell's U.N. speech on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
