...encouraging note in Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele's report on the U.S.'s impending fuel crunch was the success of Jimmy Carter's effort to reduce oil consumption, something that is clearly not a goal of the oilmen in the Bush Administration [SPECIAL REPORT, July 21].

While Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld spars with journalists over the precise meaning of guerrilla war, Americans are suffering casualties on a daily basis, and their attempts to help the Iraqi people rebuild a country sputter and stall in the face of a security nightmare. No one in the U.S. government or military can take pride in the postwar situation. Instead of planning to protect Iraqis' most precious resources, we became helpless witnesses to the chaotic looting...
