...major contribution that Howard Dean has made to the presidential campaign is to provide voters with a clear and dramatic choice [Jan. 12]. In recent years, Democratic and Republican presidential candidates have run poll-based campaigns that have all sounded the same. Dean is not George W. Bush; Dean has different ideas about how to keep America safe and prosperous. If he becomes the Democratic nominee, voters will have a real choice this November. Isn't that what democracy is all about-two candidates with different views? Paul Feiner Greenburgh...
...Power of Populism Joe Klein questions the wisdom of the Democrats using classic populism ("the people vs. the powerful") as a strategy to win the presidency [Jan. 12]. I say more power to them. It is the common people who work, pay taxes, fight our wars and cry out for fairness. Klein noted that the by-products of the 1890s' wave of populism were a progressive income tax, antitrust legislation and other reforms. Dean is proposing the same type of progressive political, social and economic agenda. Onofrio Perzia LeRoy...
...Delays Ahead "Grounded by Terror," on the cancellation and rerouting of international airline flights because of security concerns [Jan. 12], provided an excellent snapshot of what life will be like for the traveling public in 2004 and beyond. Only law-enforcement, intelligence and security agents need to know the specifics of a terrorist-threat assessment. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security did a good job of preventing a holiday-season terrorist attack in this most difficult time. The majority of the traveling public does not mind security inconveniences if everyone is flying safer. Dan R. Thies Interlachen...
...Cattle Crisis "How Now, Mad Cow?" described the discovery of bovine spongiform encephalopathy in a dairy cow in the U.S. [Jan. 12]. Mad-cow disease? They should call it mad-human disease! Only we humans would make a cannibal out of a vegetarian animal by feeding it contaminated meat-and-bone meal, exposing it to a horrible nervous disorder and then be mainly concerned with our inability to eat it. Which species, I ask, is mad? Lakshmi Jackman Austin...
...Victims, Not Enemies Your article "Giving Aid to the Enemy" reported on U.S. humanitarian assistance to Iran after the disastrous Bam earthquake [Jan. 12]. Although I can understand the tension between the U.S. and Iran, I feel that your headline fueled the perception that both Iran's government and its people are hostile to the U.S. The people of Bam suffered a tragedy of unimaginable proportions and are now forced to live in destitute circumstances. It is unfair to the victims to align them with the unpopular theocratic regime under the heading "enemy." Jessica Lajevardi Windsor, Canada...
