William Kristol argued that "The soldiers who have done well in Iraq will be major figures in American life for the next few decades" [Aug. 20]. So we bomb Iraq back to the Stone Age, causing the death of hundreds of thousands of people, spend billions of taxpayer dollars looking for WMD and terrorists, all so that we can train a few future American leaders. This is another classic example of warped Western thinking...

...Battle-Tested Leaders William Kristol argued that "the soldiers who have done well in Iraq will be major figures in American life for the next few decades." So we go to war and bomb Iraq back to the Stone Age, directly or indirectly causing the death of hundreds of thousands of people, spend billions of taxpayer dollars looking for WMD and terrorists, all so that we can train a few future American leaders. This is another classic example of warped Western thinking. Nate Stone, PHILADELPHIA...
