...Where Are Those Weapons? The headline "Who Lost The WMD?" [July 7] suggested (correctly) that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq to lose. This fact was well documented by the allied forces at the end of Gulf War I in 1991.

Bush and Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, even when it has meant confronting opposition from some Israelis. Sharon was correct in labeling Abbas "a chick that hasn't grown its feathers." Bush ought to reconsider chastising Sharon for ordering attacks on Hamas leader Abdel Aziz Rantisi and other members of that group. The U.S. is creating a dangerous double standard.
