Your columnist Michael Elliott asked what the Bush Administration should do now and suggested that Iran and Syria ought to feel nervous because of their terrorist connections [GLOBAL AGENDA, April 21]. I say that any country that has harbored a terrorist, plans terrorist attacks or helps others carry out such attacks against the U.S. is who's next. The U.S. is not at war with only a few people or even a few nations. We are at war with the entire concept of international terrorism. MICHAEL BUSSIO Scotts Valley, Calif...
...Elliott to compare the U.S. with other "empires" is literary license at its worst. The U.S. has never engaged in empire building like France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, China and Japan. Nor does the U.S. have a history of conquests like the Muslims, Turks, Persians and Greeks, to name a few.

Harvard point guard Elliott Prasse-Freeman, for quoting him as saying he’s “one of the worst Division I athletes to play basketball” (Nov. 20, 2002). Elliott, if I really thought the quote would have cost you a shot with that hot chick from Brazil, I never would have published...
...beats are digital icing—finely groomed and processed gems that remind listeners that, despite its faults, radio hip-hop has consistently pushed sonic boundaries. “Platinum BlaQue Party” employs shaker, hi-hat and triangle samples straight from a Missy Elliott chart-topper, along with a creamy-wet, futuristic synth. The lyrics imitate radio-hop’s vapid babble but exaggerate it even further, laying bare its superficiality. “I got so much access to excess,” they croon, “words cannot describe my success...
