Letter to the Editor
The war with Iran will happen because the Republicans need a new war for political cover for the 2006 elections. With the Republican Party poised to destroy social security they will need a serious distraction in order to hold onto power in the next election. How will the Republicans distract America from putting old people out on the street and record borrowing and deficits? They need a new fresh war. And since war seems to be necessary for Republicans to get elected on a record of failure - they will have to start another war for their political survival. And Iran is next on their list.

When Bush talks about "privatizing" social security - what does that really mean? Doesn't that really mean that he's going to take our public tax dollars that we pay to help the elderly and put it in the pockets of private people (his friends) instead? Just like "protecting" Social Security is really a code name for destroying it. We're supposed to borrow money from the Communists in China to gamble it in the stock market and use those funds to make the government the biggest stock holder in the private US economy? I think someone has their head in a place where the sun don't shine. We are really in trouble.
