Walter Isaacson argued cogently for??dialogue with Iran about stabilizing Iraq and then sabotaged his valid arguments by name calling [Dec. 4]. Does it promote fruitful dialogue to call Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad "mad" and declare that he sounds "like a lunatic"? Has Ahmadinejad done anything remotely as mad and lunatic as invading and occupying Iraq or bombing Lebanon? Demonizing and name calling are what have got us into this horrific mess in the Middle East. CARL J. EKBERG Purgitsville, W.Va...
Politicians in Washington may be looking for??a way to back out of trouble spots like the Middle East, but U.S. airlines are increasingly looking for a way in.

...ashamed of our Congress for??adopting legislation that allows coerced testimony to be used as evidence in trials of terrorism suspects [Oct. 9]. President George W. Bush can sugarcoat the inhumane methods of interrogation all he wants, but there are moral standards that we Americans uphold. If the President is really a Christian, I don't understand how he can request such a bill and use political pressure to force it through Congress over the objections of moral and knowledgeable opponents. We suffered a great loss of life and property on 9/11, but the attackers damage us far more...
