But if we really wanted to rid the world of deadly villains, shouldn't we have concentrated on the perpetrators of genocide in the Sudan? Or on North Korea, which is working to develop nuclear weapons? Ed Steinhaus Westminster, California, U.S. Kudos to Klein for identifying the two opponents that Bush...
