...only and should be free to secede from the Union. Or is that our democracy's only forbidden desire? Anthony Flood New York City A Time for Determination After the flurry of car bombings, hostage takings and beheadings in Iraq [Oct. 25], I find it disturbing when the media depict these killers as "insurgents" or "resistance fighters."
